BATTALION 14 News & Information

Over 600 hundred residents who reside in Battalion 14 enjoyed a Saturday morning at Fire Station 86 as the Toluca Lake Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Los Angeles Fire Department, Fire Station 86, hosted its annual Fire Service Day Old Fashioned Pancake Breakfast. The "MOAB", as pictured above and otherwise known at the "Mother Of All Bar-B-Ques, provided by United Firefighters of Los Angeles, allowed the volunteers to cook thousands of pancakes to feed all of the hungry participants.
The old fashioned pancake breakfast was held on Saturday, May 12th, 2007, at Fire Station 86. Members of the community were able to gather at the Fire Station where the children were able to get a first hand look at Fire Station 86's fire engine and residents were able to get a close up view of the beautiful new landscaping at the Fire Station.
The parking lot at the Fire Station was converted to an outside dinning room, complete with canopies and balloons, where residents were able to enjoy their pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, and orange juice.
Future Firefighters are served a refreshing cold drink by a "young" volunteer.



The pancake breakfast was made possible by the army of Toluca Lake Chamber of Commerce volunteers, whose hard work and generous donation of time and energy made the event possible. Proceeds from the breakfast benefit the Fire Station 86 Adopt-A-Fire Station program and the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Fund.
