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.
The Burbank Police Department hosted its annual Shop With a Cop event, where 30 local children, selected through the Burbank Housing Corporation, were invited to take part in a holiday experience designed to create memories and give back to families in need of a little extra love and support during this time of year.
