Los Angeles Retired Firefighter Luncheon
You're invited to come and spend an afternoon with some of the LAFD's most enduring members. On June 14, the LAFD Museum will host its annual retired firefighter luncheon. This is your chance to mix it up with LAFD firefighters who protected the city for much of the 20th century.
The museum's own Bob Lee will run the kitchen. LAFD Historical Society President Greg Gibson will offer some words of wisdom and councilperson Tom LaBonge will stop by to offer up some of his memorable public speaking.
Beyond the expected activities, the luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the department's past via the memories and experiences of real firefighters. Many of these retired members were there during the most serious incidents faced by the city in the 20th century. Learn about the Bel Air fire, the Watts riots, the DC-10 crash at LAX, explosions in the LA Harbor, and many other emergency responses.
So, leave work for a few hours and join us for lunch. The fun begins at 11AM. A food donation of $10.00 will keep the cook happy. See you there!
