Smokey Bear's 70th Birthday Celebration at the LAFD Museum in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD - The Los Angeles Fire Department and LAFD Historical Society, welcome you to join firefighters and their families for a special day of fun and safety awareness, as we celebrate Smokey Bear's 70th Birthday at the LAFD Museum in Hollywood.

Museum docents, including off-duty and retired firefighters will warmly welcome you to this hidden Los Angeles treasure (admission is free), where you'll see a special display of Smokey Bear memorabilia, hear stories about the legendary spokes-bear and be treated to an up close look at the fire service past and present, all inside a carefully preserved former firehouse.

At 1:00 PM, Los Angeles City Councilmember Tom LaBonge will join museum staff and visitors to celebrate Smokey's birthday and serve a special birthday cake to those in attendance. The museum is open from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM each Saturday and admission is free!
