Newsflash
| On May 19th, while returning from handling an emergency call, Engine 76 was dispatched to a burning bus on the Hollywood Freeway. In command was Steven Owens, a MySafe:LA board director and lead educator presenter for our in-school visits. On arrival, Engine 76 met Engine 86 (first water) and a fully involved school bus. About two dozen school children were scrambling through a hole in a fence at the side of the freeway to get away from traffic and the flames. The fire was extinguished quickly and while waiting for a replacement bus, the crew of 76s put the kids through part of the MySafe:LA safety demonstration, including letting the kids put on helmets and use a one-inch fire hose. It just goes to show that practice makes perfect. We hope to visit the Flory Academy of Sciences and Technology in Moorpark soon, so they can see the rest of the presentation.
