LAFD
Justin,
The short answer to your question is that you and other City of Los Angeles residents (some of whom attended the event) paid for the services of the municipal employees, including members of the LAFD.
There were some civilians hired by the event organizers to handle security and medical aid on site, yet like other special events (i.e. Marathon, Oscars, Emmys, etc), the bulk of what are requisite services were provided by uniformed members of your Los Angeles Fire Department.
Please know that the vast majority of LAFD personnel working at this permitted event were on their regular tour of duty, and did not create an inordinate cost. The services provided from those patrolling the site and 'standing by', would have been provided in any case (albeit with a delay) .
Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
Brian Humphrey
Firefighter/Specialist
Public Service Officer

As an LA resident and taxpayer, I want to know who paid for the city firefighters and EMT personnel who were on-hand at your event.
On Saturday, June 28, 2008, at 2:57 PM, 1 Company of Los Angeles Firefighters, 9 LAFD Rescue Ambulances, 1 LAFD Bicycle Paramedic Team, 1 EMS Battalion Captain, and 1 Battalion Chief Officer Command Team, as well as 8 personnel from the LAFD Bureau of Fire Prevention & Public Safety; a total of 35 Los Angeles Fire Department members under the direction of Battalion Chief Jack Wise, assembled for the night-long 'Electric Daisy Carnival' at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 3911 South Figueroa Street in Exposition Park.
Joining the Los Angeles Police Department and allied agencies in Unified Command, LAFD personnel spent nearly 15 hours at the music oriented event, addressing the life safety needs of attendees, including 18 persons deemed in need of medical attention.
Of the 18 carnival-goers assessed by LAFD Paramedics, 11 were transported to area hospitals for unspecified injury or illness. The Los Angeles Fire Department did not formally estimate attendance at the 12-hour event, which ended as scheduled at 4:00 AM.
The LAFD concluded on-site operations at 5:40 AM Sunday morning.
