On Saturday, May 7, the Burbank Fire Department and the Burbank Police Department held an open house for Fire Service and Police Service Day and thousands of people stopped by.
The Fire Department had displays, tours of the station, demonstrations, and sidewalk CPR. Burbank Firefighters cooked up pulled pork sandwiches and picnic fare.
The Burbank Police had a helicopter, the Bearcat, and the SWAT truck on display, along with bounce houses and a DJ. The Traffic unit put on demonstrations and the Burbank Police Foundation sold tee shirts, as well.
Mary Gallagher will tell you she’s “a comic, actor, and writer,” but that doesn’t really cover it. She’s a survivor of Midwestern discipline, a student of chaos, a quiet storm turned loud truth-teller. She’s also a working mother, an educator, a late-night TV comic, a Colbert alum, a voice in the room helping actors find their own voices.
