Mayor Bass Appoints Jaime Moore As LAFD Fire Chief
Posted on 10/24/2025
After a monthslong search, Mayor Karen Bass has appointed LAFD Deputy Chief Jaime Moore to serve as the next Fire Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Chief Moore is a Los Angeles native who has been a member of the LAFD for 30 years. He currently serves as Deputy Chief overseeing the Valley Bureau, LAFD’s largest geographic bureau covering over 260 square miles, serving and protecting 8 City Council Districts, 34 Neighborhood Councils, and 13 neighborhood agencies in the San Fernando Valley.
Deputy Chief Moore has been a friend and partner of the Encino Neighborhood Council—always ready to answer questions, help out, or participate in a meeting—and most recently played an instrumental role in the ongoing cleanup of the Sepulveda Basin, the ENC’s biggest priority.
We congratulate and welcome Chief Moore on his appointment to LAFD Fire Chief! And we look forward to continuing our strong partnership with him as he leads the department into this next chapter.
