Captain Frank Hurtado

I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome and introduce the new CERT Unit Captain, Francisco Hurtado.

Captain Hurtado, with 27 years of dedicated service to the Los Angeles City Fire Department, brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and training to our team. Many of you have already had the privilege of meeting Captain Hurtado. As we continue to expand our reach nationally, serve our local communities, and prioritize the safety of ourselves, family, friends, and neighbors, I am confident that the collaboration between LAFD CERT and its members will be instrumental in achieving success.

Welcome Captain Hurtado!

Rico Gross, Captain II, Los Angeles City Fire Department
Disaster Preparedness Officer, Homeland Security Division
