TORRANCE — Fourth District County Supervisor and Chair Janice Hahn, along with team members from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department or LACoFD and the Department of Beaches and Harbors, joined volunteers to kick-off painting a new specially themed lifeguard tower on Torrance Beach (near Paseo de la Playa) to promote autism spectrum disorder or ASD and special needs awareness and inclusion.
Designed by LACoFD ocean lifeguard Scott Snyder, the lifeguard tower is being hand-painted between March 27 through March 31 by ASD and special needs individuals and their families as well as advocates, educators and community groups.
The fully functional lifeguard tower will be boldly decorated into a permanent art installation, inspired by the LACoFD’s award-winning Sirens of Silence autism and special needs awareness, education, and inclusion program.
The tower’s colorful mural represents a flurry of vibrant hearts in hues of red, gold, and blue, exemplifying an exuberance of joy, love, and kindness, while embracing all abilities.
The lifeguard tower will be completed by World Autism Awareness Day which is celebrated annually on April 2 during what is nationally and countywide-designated as Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month.
