A while back a buddy and I visited the L.A. area and visited LAFD stations 33, 38 and 56 with no problems at all. In fact they took us in, shared stories and treated us great offering anything they could. And when leaving 56's they refused to let us go to 33's until they called ahead and then gave us point by point turns and phone numbers to call them in case of an issue. Additionally LACoFD, Compton and Long Beach Fire Departments where awesome as well. No issues what so ever and treated us awesome with directions, lunch, etc.
Still have a good opinion of the L.A. area fire service.

Fire Station 9 is kind of a difficult hosuse to shoot due to call volume and limited space for apparatus photos. Fire Station 3 in Downtown is good as they just took delivery of one of the new KME's as did Fire Station 56.
Most of the smaller cities Burbank, Glendale etc are also photo friendly.
