LAFD Capt. and Public Information Officer Erik Scott reported nearly every day over the air and on the Internet during last year’s Palisades Fire, one of the most devastating events in City history. He’s recounted his experiences in a new book, Calm Amidst Chaos, a Frontline Memoir of the Palisades Fire and the Voice That Guided a City.
The book blends frontline interviews, on-scene observations, Hollywood’s red carpets and stories of leadership forged under impossible conditions. Capt. Scott reveals the human side of disaster: the emotional wreckage left behind, the toll on Firefighters, and the quiet courage that carries a City through its darkest hours. The non-political memoir recounts a City of resilience. The book is widely available wherever Club Members get their books.
Congratulations, Capt. Scott on this historic achievement!
