As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to blaze, thousands of heroic firefighters have risked their lives to get the fires under control, all while saving lives and homes. There are roughly about 7,500 firefighters and emergency personnel battling the multiple fires ravaging the Greater Los Angeles area. Among them are members of the California National Guard, firefighters from countries like Mexico, and inmate firefighters.
Many of us grow up knowing that firefighters are heroes, but the catastrophic events in California have only confirmed that those thoughts. Whether comforting a scared dog or helping retrieve a family’s sentimental objects, these men and women embody the best of humanity. Artists are capturing these selfless acts and transforming them into beautiful tributes to the firefighters battling the flames. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite illustrations that honor their heroic efforts.
If you want to support the firefighters who are tirelessly working against these fires, consider donating to the CAL FIRE Benevolent Foundation or the LA Fire Foundation. The CAL FIRE Foundation provides assistance to firefighters and their families in case of loss of life or injury, while the LA Fire Foundation “provides vital equipment and funds critical programs” to the LA Fire Department.
