~ FDNY CROSS-COUNTRY

~ CODE 3
SALUTE TO LOCAL HEROES IN WOODLAND HILLS ~
If you've been
around the Fire Service long enough to become a "Fire Buff"
- or know of one, you've probably heard about Code 3 Collectibles,
the limited edition scale-model emergency vehicles, like the ones
seen here:
http://www.code3.net/fire
What you may
not have realized is that these world-renowned artisans are headquartered
in suburban Los Angeles. This coming SATURDAY offers a *must-attend*
event for anyone wanting to see or photograph an astounding (and
I do mean astounding) multi-agency display and demonstration of
real emergency apparatus. Our friends at Code 3 Collectibles will
host dozens of full-sized Fire ngines, Police Cars, Motorcycles
and Helicopters in a "Salute to Local Heroes". This is
a free event for the entire family. We hope to see you there.

~ BENEFIT
FOR OUR BRAVEST STREET FESTIVAL ~
Food, music,
games and more are just part of the fun on SATURDAY afternoon, as
LAFD supporters in Sherman Oaks host the 4th Annual Benefit for
our Bravest Street Festival. Bring your appetite (and some film
in your camera) for this free celebrity studded event, which last
year raised more than $34,000 for the Adopt-A-Fire-Station Program
in the San Fernando Valley.

Through creative
partnership and spirited teamwork, Adopt-A-Fire-Station continues
to make a difference in Neighborhood Fire Stations throughout Los
Angeles:

~ YOU DID
NOT FORGET - NOR WILL WE ~
"We Will
Never Forget".
Four strong
words that are never spoken in haste by the men and women of America's
Fire Service. For the many of you who stood beside us then and since,
kindly allow me to offer our collective thanks for remembering the
courage, honor and sacrifice of those who died in New York, Pennsylvania
and Northern Virginia on September 11, 2001.
Please know
that you and your loved ones are always welcome to join us anytime
for quiet reflection and remembrance at the World Trade Center Memorial
in Los Angeles:

** Coming later this month: A detailed look at LAFD Air Operations,
including a sneak peek at some aircraft concepts under consideration.
