LAFD Fire Station 29 Celebrates Its Centennial with a Pancake Breakfast

We are proud to say that tomorrow, Tuesday April 16, 2013, Los Angeles Fire Department Fire Station 29, proudly serving Wilshire Center and Hancock Park areas, will turn 100 years-old. Join LAFD Fire Chief Brian Cummings, Board of Fire Commissioners, Councilmember Tom LaBonge and local firefighters, in celebrating the Centennial of the 1913 formation of Engine Company 29, and the opening of the original Western Avenue station at the "new" firehouse located at 4029 Wilshire Boulevard.

Members of the public are encouraged to visit. The event will be marked with a good, old-fashioned firefighters' pancake breakfast and provide a great chance for all to talk about the "ol days" with 29's alumni along with those presently assigned. Fire Station 29 is known for perennially producing some of the LAFD's finest. Congratulations 29's!

The history of the Los Angeles Fire Department is one of the most unique and inspiring in U.S. fire service history. An all-volunteer department for nearly two decades in the mid 19th Century, the department became an official agency of the City of Los Angeles on February 1, 1886. We encourage you to learn more about your LAFD by visiting your neighborhood station.
