Fire Station No. 30--Engine Company No. 30
historic place
Fire Station No. 30, Engine Company No. 30, is a historic place in Los Angeles County. This two-story building was constructed in 1913. In 1924, it became Los Angeles's first all-Black segregated fire station. This segregation continued until 1956, when the Los Angeles Fire Department integrated. The station closed in 1980. In 1985, it was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument Number 289. A historical marker, erected that year, commemorates its status as the city's first all-Black fire station. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Since 1997, the building has housed the African American Firefighter Museum. This location is significant for its role in the history of African American firefighters in Los Angeles.
