Greater Alarm Gala Draws Near

The 4th Annual Greater Alarm Gala is less than a month away, and already, the anticipation is building. This year, there are so many things for us to consider when opening the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Plaza for this prestigious event. The LAFD lost a gallant firefighter, Brent Lovrien this year. Several other firefighters passed away, due to on-the-job-related illnesses. And, the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Plaza was completed this past August.

This year also marks some important changes. The event has grown up a bit, and we're eager to make certain everyone has the best time possible while in our company. We've added fun things to do - get your photo taken while sliding the fire pole in the station, or get photographed and have your image matted onto a fire engine. If you enjoy cigars, we'll have a talented cigar-roller there to work his magic - just for you.

As with years past, we're offering up a tremendous menu, all prepared by LA City Firefighters. And, we've added food service lines to provide faster service. Coffee and deserts are being brought to the table, and we'll keep you entertained with a variety of aerialists, fire dancers, videos, and much more.

So, please join us for a worthwhile cause and a fun evening. Forget the daily drama of life in Los Angeles and escape to Historic Fire Station 27 in Hollywood. You'll be glad you did.
