The Los Angeles Rams will make NFL history by honoring the LA Fire Department during the 2025 NFL Draft. On Thursday, the team announced it would take its draft operations to a fire station and draft from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Air Operations.

With the help of Zillow, the Rams and the LA Fire Department will convert a room within the LAFD Air Operations to serve as head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead’s draft headquarters from April 24-26. There will also be an adjacent hangar to serve as space for coaches, scouts, team personnel, and media who are on-site during the draft.

“Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,” Rams president Kevin Demoff said in a statement. “Since the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA Together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted, and shine a light on our first responders. We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFL’s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.”

“We are incredibly grateful to the Los Angeles Rams for their unwavering support of the Los Angeles City Fire Department and our wildfire-impacted communities. Hosting the NFL Draft at LAFD Air Operations highlights the critical role our Air Operations plays in protecting Los Angeles, especially during wildfire season. The Rams’ generosity—renovating our station and recognizing our firefighters—demonstrates a deep commitment to the city we all serve. We look forward to standing alongside the Rams in this meaningful event,” Interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva added.

The Rams are doing this to show support to the LA Fire Department which played a big role in battling the wildfires that hit the area earlier this year. Before the second round of the draft, the Rams will welcome additional first responders from throughout the region who assisted with the fires with a chalk talk with McVay, Demoff and other team executives.

Los Angeles are set to have a busy NFL Draft as it has eight picks. The Rams have the No. 26 overall pick and will then have two third-round picks, a fourth-round pick, and four sixth-round picks.
