THANK YOU - 2024 LAFD Fire Service Day!

This past Saturday, May 11th, 2024 we held a terrific event that was part of National Fire Service Day!

Here in Los Angeles the LAFD has designated the second Saturday in May as "Fire Service Day". This year, the theme was "Celebrating Community Resilience", with a focus on strengthening the connections that benefit our entire community in times of crisis.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE FIREFIGHTERS OF SYLMAR'S STATION #91!

The Sylmar Neighborhood Council partnered with LAFD in holding a fun, action-packed, and treat-filled event for the kids and families of Sylmar and our surrounding communities. 

There were demonstrations on vehicles, life-saving measures, educational & resources and let's not forget firetrucks and fire engines to climb on and take pictures. 

There were educational vendors from -
