Our deepest condolences go out to all who knew and loved Firefighter III Connor J. Lees. ❤️It is with profound sadness that we share an update regarding Firefighter III Connor J. Lees.
On March 28, 2025, the Long Beach Police Department recovered the body of Firefighter Connor J. Lees from the waters off Long Beach. Firefighter Lees, 29, was a dedicated member of the Los Angeles City Fire Department for six years, serving with distinction at Fire Station 94 B Platoon in the Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw community. He was off duty at the time of his disappearance, recreationally diving with friends.
As previously reported, on December 4, 2024, the City of Long Beach's public safety agencies responded to a 9-1-1 call regarding a missing diver in the Port of Long Beach. The Long Beach Fire Department immediately initiated a coordinated search effort, joined by the Long Beach Police Department, the Los Angeles City Fire Department, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division, and the Los Angeles Port Police, operating under a Unified Command. Despite an exhaustive and highly technical search, Firefighter Lees was presumed lost at sea, and recovery efforts were concluded on December 6, 2024.
The LAFD stands united in grief alongside Firefighter Lees’ family, friends, and colleagues. We extend our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved him.
We would also like to express our profound gratitude to the Long Beach Police Department (CA) and the Long Beach Fire Department for their unwavering dedication and support throughout the search and recovery efforts. Their professionalism, determination, and compassion have brought solace to our department and to Firefighter Lees' loved ones during this difficult time.
