BREAKING: The Los Angeles County, CA Fire Department, under a memo from Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone, mandates flying the Progress Pride Flag (PPF) at all fire departments during June 2025 for LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Order sent to all Chief Officers at all sites by Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone states "I want to be intentional and clear that compliance is not optional at our Department facilities."

Per the order, fire captains must ensure PPF display, report damage, and store flags after June, with non-compliance risking discipline. Only U.S., California, and PPF flags are permitted.

Critics argue only U.S. and California flags should fly at government facilities, claiming the PPF prioritizes one group and conflicts with religious values.
