The organization was founded in 1954, by
iabpff African-American firefighters of the Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County
Fire Departments. Their purpose and goals were to band together and
address the discrimination and segregation challenges in the City's Fire
Department. The name stentorians, was selected for its appropriateness
from the word Stentor, a Greek Herald described in the Iliad as having the voice
of fifty men, extremely loud and powerful, audibly expressing a very
forceful sound. The began to gain members from the Los Angeles County Fire
Department as African-Americans slowly began to be hired in the early 1950's.
Today, the Los Angeles County stentorians membership consists of over four
hundred men and women both active and retired, sworn and non-sworn throughout
the Southern California area. The Los Angeles County Stentorians belong to the
(iabpff)
International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, a National
Organization in which the Los Angeles County Stentorians are charter members of.
