MCHALE'S NAVY VISITS LA CITY FIRE STATION 108
Fire Station 108, located in the Hollywood Hills, just above Beverly Hills, was visited by a special friend on Sunday, June 3, 2007. Academy Award winner, and friend of the Fire Department, Ernest Borgnine dropped by the Fire Station for a friendly visit bringing with him several baskets of fresh fruit for the Firefighters.
Ernest Borgnine poses for a picture with Captain Larry Croghan and crew in the front yard of Fire Station 108. Mr. Borgnine, who has visited the Fire Station on previous occasions, and is always welcome, recalled his early film and TV days when he stared as Quinton McHale on McHale's Navy and Marty Pilchi in his Academy Award performance in the movie "Marty".
Mr. Borgnine, thanks for the visit and we hope to see you again soon......

Mr. Borgnine is certainly a friend of the LAFD. A number of years ago during the infamous "Coffee Shortage" he rang the doorbell at 108s and greeted our guys with a couple of cases of Coffee for the Station.
I also remember on numerous occassions he would stop by the Station in the morning in his Chefs outfit and spend the day cooking meals for the troops.
Ernest Borgnine is a class act and a true gentleman.
