We've set up LAFD Station 112 Fire Boat 2 with a @Starlink mini today. Planning to add it to the other four boats since connectivity issues for the department are now resolvable through Starlink.

Hope @elonmusk can help us out.

FOWLA in partnership with @milacaresquad and Carmel Partners just delivered 45 Mila Air Filters to @LAFD stations within Battalion 13. Firefighters live at their workplace for days to weeks. Having proper air quality where they work and sleep is a must.

We’re happy for the support of Mila Cares and Carmel Partners in making this happen!
