On behalf of the members of the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, I would like to thank the Recording Academy for having us here this evening. This is a tremendous honor and privilege, to be here in the company of such talented music industry professionals. As fire chief, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank first responders who came from near and far to battle this wildfire siege.

In the midst of unprecedented fire conditions, their selfless acts of courage were nothing short of inspiring. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers remain with all the families who have lost loved ones, friends, and neighbors, along with everyone who has lost homes, businesses, and been displaced. We are thankful to our many partners, including all of you for standing alongside our residents and communities to offered continued support. I’m confident we will recover. We are L.A. strong.”
