Fleming Reelected as Fire Commission Head
Studio City resident, business leader and Valley activist David W. Fleming has been reelected president of the Los Angeles City Fire Commission, the city panel that oversees the Fire Department.
A 1991 recipient of the Fernando Award, a Valley tribute for volunteerism, Fleming became the commission’s leader in August 1995.
The five-member commission unanimously elected Fleming this week to his second one-year term.
An attorney with the international law firm Latham & Watkins, Fleming, 61, is a 40-year resident of the San Fernando Valley.
He and his wife, Jean Blake Fleming, have two grown sons.
Fleming also heads the Economic Alliance of the San Fernando Valley, formed to spur economic growth and job creation after the Northridge earthquake.
In addition, he is an advocate of city charter reform as an antidote to the growing Valley secession movement.
A health education center at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys bears the Fleming name because the couple donated $1 million to the hospital.
