When I was in 4th grade my class was doing a project. The project was that we needed to do one…read morerandom act of kindness. My random act of kindness was to make(with my mom) a home cooked, two day brewed roast for the fire department. My mom had come up with the idea because she figured that they had such long shifts, they didn't get to have home cooked meals very often. So we first started with home baked cookies, I was too nervous to start with a roast as I was afraid the firefighters wouldn't like it. They were OVER the moon for the cookies. So we came back and brought them a pot roast in my moms crock pot and told them to give us a call and we'll pick up the crock pot when they've finished eating and such. Coincidently, I had a fire start in my trash can in my drive away about a week later and they had responded to put it out. So then, they had known my address. Once they realized it was the food people's house, they did something unimaginable. After putting out the fire in my trash can, they left. They left my house and went to the store and purchased flowers, a teddy bear and a thank you note (and also went to the station to get the crock pot lol). They pulled up to my house and gave me all these gifts because they appreciated my 4th grade self, bringing them a home cooked meal. I'm 21 years old now, I live in Monterey and I quite literally think of that day, almost every single day of my life. The gentlemen that let me sit in the drivers seat of the fire truck, the flowers, the little white lamb stuffed animal- everything has made such a positive impact in my life. I don't think the men that had participated in that event will ever see this, but if by some luck they do I want them to know I think of it everyday and that they are the reason I am in the career field I'm in now. Firefighters are usually the sweetest, however the kind acts those men made just because I brought them a roast and cookies, will forever make me smile.

Why doesn't the Long Beach Fire Department know which of five driveways to enter our seven building…read morefacility when they get an alarm of fire in one of them?We have had several recent fires and valuable time was lost with fire apparatus repositioning and moving around not knowing the buildings layout within. This is a life threatening issue since time is of the essence in saving lives and property during a fire. Yet I have been a resident here for 32 years and we have yet to have any practice fire drills or fire prevention presentations from any of the Long Beach Fire Department personnel to discuss vitally important information to the residents or have any sort of drills to familiarize themselves with the layout of the power, waterflow, structural design, alarm systems until there is fire here and then they show their unpreparedness to trapped residents while scurrying around to determine building address numbers.

What a fun open house the fire department hosted today. I heard it was the first ever event for…read morethem so it was great! They had free hot dogs, chips and water for the community to enjoy. Every kid got a fire hat, and some of the vendors had booths of freebies too. We went on a fire station tour, got to see the chief and captains rooms, along with their kitchen and dining area. Witnessed a fire saving demonstration with real fire!! They also did a car door extraction from a fake car crash on site. Lots to learn. We toured the rescue boat too. Wow, fun times for the kids to explore. Lastly; our kid got to be a Junior fire fighter by doing their obstacle course of pulling rope, carrying hose, walking over a tiny staircase, hammering to get Captain status, and actually using a real water hose to save fake fires, carrying a heavy fake person to safety, and doing a rope pulley. Kids earn a certificate card of completion at the end. Phew, what a day! The line to do the obstacle course was the longest, maybe 40-45min? Fun though.
