The Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles City Firefighters Association are proud to recognize Captain II Richard Moody as "Firefighter of the Year” for his many personal and professional accomplishments during calendar year 2023.
With 24 years of exceptional service to the people of Los Angeles, Captain Moody brings spirited leadership, selfless dedication, approachability and positivity to all he does.
Prior to joining the Los Angeles Fire Department in 2000, Richard spent ten years as a paid-call Firefighter and Captain for the Orange County Fire Authority.
After commencing his LAFD career, he quickly discovered a love for firefighting truck operations, and was soon promoted to Apparatus Operator, serving that role with distinction at Fire Stations 17 (Industrial Eastside), 102 (Valley Glen), 10 (Convention Center District), and 98 (Pacoima).
Earning a promotion to Captain I, he proudly served a leadership role at Station 41 serving Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills, before achieving a special duty position in LAFD Tactical Planning. His many contributions to that demanding specialty assignment helped him in earning a promotion to Captain II and service as the Task Force Commander at busy Fire Station 11 in the Westlake / MacArthur Park area. With a leadership style characterized by an open-door policy, Captain Moody has never missed an opportunity to train and learn alongside those in his command, and has been perpetually noted for always putting the needs of his crew first.
With Captain Moody's highly specialized skills and experience in high demand, he was soon assigned to the LAFD Critical Incident Planning and Training Section (CIPTS) to handle complex logistics, where he has supported the department's multitude of large-personnel commitments to incidents such as brush fires, civil unrest, municipal events, large-scale emergencies and memorial services for firefighters.
It is worthy of noting that he has served on the logistics cadre in almost every LAFD fallen member's memorial service for the last 20 years, as well as compassionately assisting other Fire and Police agencies in their most difficult moments.
His ever-expanding role within the Department and in support of allied agencies is indeed legendary, including service as a member of FEMA Task Force 1, Field Incident Management Team, and as a Trustee of the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association. A beloved mentor, he selflessly assists with LAFD In-Service Apparatus Operator training videos and has presented the essential After Action Review for the Apparatus Operators Core Program. He enjoys helping with Department related fundraisers such as golf tournaments, Hope For Firefighters and other important events, such as the LAFD Valor Awards.
Captain Moody served the demanding role as the Logistics Section Chief for the Getty Fire in 2019, overseeing the first-ever 100% City-Managed Base Camp for over 2,000 firefighters. It was a milestone success for our Department, and his Logistics Section set a new standard for the support, care and treatment of deployed firefighters in the midst of a major firefight.
At CIPTS, Richard has created a full-time logistical support group, supplying a wide variety of equipment and vehicles, developing vendor relationships and designing response procedures for both planned and emergency events near and far. He has an uncommon ability to say “yes” to - and most importantly deliver, any requested need from the Department or City, no matter how big or small, through the remarkable relationships he has developed within and beyond the LAFD.
As but one example, within 12 hours of the Mayor's request, Rich assembled and led a team to open a first-of-its-kind Covid-19 Public Testing Site at the LAFD Frank Hotchikin Training Center in Elysian Park, fully staffed by nurses, doctors and firefighters. The site served as the blueprint for and eventually expanded into the Dodger Stadium vaccine super-site.
Other special events that Captain Moody and his LAFD CIPTS team have overseen include the Space Shuttle Endeavour final move, U.S. Special Olympics, World Police and Fire Games, L.A. Port Fleet Weeks, Dodgers, Lakers and Kings games, The Summit of the Americas, and countless concerts, festivals, ceremonies, protests and award shows.
He is looking forward to participating on LAFD’s team to organize and manage a successful City deployment for the LA2028 Summer Olympics.
Without question, Rich exemplifies leadership and humility in the ever-changing role of our Department. The men and women of therefore heartily congratulate Captain II Richard Moody for being named 2023 Firefighter of the Year!

What can I say, the best mom in the world to me. So selfless, loving, giving, and my best friend who is ALWAYS there for me.
A march at night by the RSS political party
Trivandrum Kerala India
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a charitable, educational, right-wing, volunteer Hindu nationalist group. RSS states that its ideology is based on the principle of selfless service to the nation.
The RSS was founded in 1925 as an educational group to train Hindu men by character-building to unite the Hindu community, counter British colonialism in India, and suppress Muslim separatism. Since its foundation it has espoused a Hindu nationalist agenda.The group drew inspiration from European right-wing groups during WWII. RSS volunteers participated in various political and social movements including the Indian independence movement and the group became an extremely prominent Hindu nationalist group in India. By the 1990s, the group had established numerous schools, charities and clubs to spread its ideological beliefs.
It has been criticised as an extremist and a paramilitary group. — in Trivandrum, India.

for years, mattresses selflessly serve our sleeping pleasure. we should all be grateful for our mattresses; after all, most of us were conceived on one.
why, then, are our mattresses being abandoned in dumps and left to the seagulls? every year in the U.S. 40 million mattresses get thrown in the trash.
the problem is, the nature and construction of mattresses has made them difficult to dispose of. they often end up in landfills because they cannot be broken down and their component parts are hard to utilize. until now…
a design competition was hosted by archtiecture for humanity, rubicon and keetsa mattresses to provide alternative uses for our world’s discarded mattresses. and the winning entry was my best of friends, nikki!
to see her winning ‘helix’ project entry,
see HERE.
with a $1000 award and the possibility of having the product actually made, i cannot wait to see what she comes up with next. keep your eyes on her!www.niknox.com/ !

The Corps of Engineers hosted a youth fishing derby at the Leech Lake Recreation Area at Federal Dam, Minn., on Saturday, July 20, 2013. Events like this and others rely heavily on the help of volunteers. These volunteers are essential to the St. Paul District’s mission. They play an invaluable role in selflessly giving their time to help the district meet our environmental stewardship, education, recreation and navigation missions. THANK YOU to all of our wonderful volunteers! - USACE photo by George Stringham

Service to mankind is beneficial if performed without egoism and doership. Otherwise, service with egoistic desire can be an obstruction for moksha, final liberation.
Revered Swami Sarvalokanandaji Maharaj, Secretary, Ramakrishna Mission, New Delhi delivered an inspiring talk on "Bharatiya Bhava on Seva: Understanding the Roots of Selfless Service" at a seminar organised by 'Students for Service' in association with C20 (a partner of the G20 movement) at the Conference Hall, Delhi University (North Campus), June 9, 2023.
Man may travel far and wide or establishes a second home beyond the borders of his native land; Yet at the twilight years of life, he will travel back on the long road to the old Home where he spent the first 7 years of his childhood from the time he was born. - wilfredosrb
Everyman in his second childhood forgets all material things. His wife, children and grandchildren are mere friends and playmates. He remembers only the years as a child below 7 yrs of age and going home to the place where he was born.
Robert Frost, an American poet, wrote "Where Are The Old Men?", re-living in poetic lines the men who left England on the MayFlower. The men with their family who worked in American plantations until their old age. No one saw them leave, died and buried in American soil . . . -wilfredosrb
