South Pasadena Police Officer Chris Perez and Department K-9, Barry, were on hand to greet local South Pasadena children and residents coming to the hugely popular Police and Fire Open House today. The big event took place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 16 and is something, along with the classic car show on Mission Street, the entire community and the city looks forward to all year.
Said Fire Chief Riddle, “the sense of bringing the city together to celebrate community, and allow the police and fire departments an opportunity to showcase our equipment and our commitment in serving the community is something we all look forward to.”
The doors to the fire station were wide open and welcomed the community to climb aboard their fire engines, watch and participate in fire demos, police dog demos, tour the police department, take photos on a police motorcycle, meet officers and firefighters and watch the take-off and landings of several search and rescue helicopters throughout the day.
Thank you to our police and fire departments for opening their doors for all to enjoy.
