The Los Angeles Rams are packing their "draft house" bags to Fire Station 114, located on the grounds of Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) for the 2025 NFL Draft.

The club announced it will be doing its draft operations from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Air Operations, honoring the first responders who helped during the Los Angeles-area wildfires in January.

"Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles," Rams President Kevin Demoff said in a statement on Thursday. "Since the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA Together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted, and shine a light on our first responders. 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."

The Rams and LAFD will convert a room within LAFD Air Operations to be general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay's draft headquarters on April 24-26. There will also be an adjacent hangar to serve as space for coaches, scouts, team personnel and media who are on-site during the three-day event.

Before Day 2 of the NFL draft, the Rams will welcome additional first responders who assisted with the wildfires to talk to Demoff, McVay and other Rams executives.
