L.A. County names 1st African-American fire chief
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Chief Deputy Daryl Osby has been named the Los Angeles County Fire Department's next leader.


Osby will take over the department as its first African-American fire chief.

The board of supervisors gave its official approval on Tuesday.

The 27-year veteran was hailed for his extensive experience, knowledge and community involvement.

Osby takes the place of Chief P. Michael Freeman, who led the agency for 21 years.
