Thank you to the 4th grade students ⁦@stampk_org⁩ St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School who made this video. It’s our honor to serve the community. If you ever wanted to make a Firefighter blush, this is definitely the way to do it.

In these times of need there are still ways to help out and donate. @americanredcross is having two Blood Drives coming up on Jan 12th/13th. Although these are neither a City or Fire Department event, we want to help get the word out so that those able can also help save a life.

Monterey Park Womens Club, Monterey Park Lions Club, and Alhambra Education Foundation dropped off this sign to show their appreciation this morning. It is our pleasure to serve such a great community.

Tonight, the #MPFD paid respects to @CHPANTELOPEVALL Officer Ornelas. Thoughts and prayers to the friends, family and coworkers. Officer Ornelas tragically lost his life in the line of duty. Rest easy Sir.
