The messages were simple: “Thank you to the first responders,” “God bless the LAFD,” “Stay safe,” “We love you LA.”
Signs of gratitude and love have been displayed across the city for the firefighters, police officers and emergency workers who have worked tirelessly on the front lines since the wildfires started last week.

News Business signs, electronic signs, and most important of LA news sites: theater marquees.
These heartfelt affections are a reminder that there are still many angels watching over the City of Angels.
