The building was named a Los Angeles Cultural-Heritage Monument in 1976 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

The Los Angeles Times reported on the incident this way: The entire crew was on hand as atmosphere and the equipment served as a background.

27, Michael J. Carter, died in the line of duty while supervising a firefighting effort at a recordmaking facility in Hollywood.

[4] The building was damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake,[5] but was restored to its earlier appearance for use as a museum honoring the Los Angeles Fire Department.

[5] The benefactor of the museum is retired Los Angeles firefighter and Medal of Valor recipient, William Rolland.

We will teach and educate children and their parents in fire safety awareness, emergency procedures and EMS technology of today.

It includes a memorial wall with the names of every known Los Angeles firefighter who has died while on active duty.

The fifth figure is the fire captain, shown making a command decision and also caring for the downed firefighter.

The statues was based on a concept and designed by Los Angeles Fire Captain Harold Dwayne Golden and created in Minnesota by Honors for Excellence.

[11] In 2005, firefighters staged a torch relay through the city to raise funds for the memorial that was then anticipated to cost $1.5 million.

Each battalion in the Los Angeles Fire Department took turns running 13 miles (21 km) with the torch.
