The Rams announced Thursday that their headquarters for the 2025 NFL draft will be hosted by the Los Angeles Fire Department Air Operations.
A room within the Van Nuys fire station will serve as general manager Les Snead’s base of operations during the three-day draft next week, while an adjacent hangar will host team personnel and media during the event.
Rams personnel were among the many Los Angeles residents affected by the January wildfires. Players and coaches evacuated their homes during the Kenneth fire in West Hills, with some team employees losing their homes and the team relocating to Phoenix for their home playoff game due to the collective impacts of the fires.
The organization will partner with Zillow and Bob’s Discount Furniture to renovate the LAFD Air Operation’s recreation room with recliners and other amenities. And on next Friday prior to the second day of the draft, Rams head coach Sean McVay, president Kevin Demoff and other team personnel will meet with first responders from throughout the region.
“Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,” Demoff said in a statement. “We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFL’s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.”
