The messages are simple: “Thank you First Responders,” “God Bless LAFD,” “Stay Safe,” “We Love You L.A.”
All around the city, signs of gratitude and love are on display for firefighters, police officers and emergency personnel who have been working tirelessly on the front lines since the wildfires began last week.

The messages are posted on business signs, electronic signs and that most quintessential of L.A. message platforms: theater marquees.
These heartfelt affections are a reminder that there are still plenty of angels out there watching over the City of Angels.
