Firehouse to hold pancake breakfast

In honor of the National Firefighter Memorial, the Boulder City Fire Department will host its annual pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday at the fire station, where we will be cooking and serving breakfast to all who join us. Our doors will be open to all.

Every year the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation hosts an event to encourage departments across the country to honor those men and women who have fallen in the line of duty in the past year. This year the Boulder City Fire Department, in association with the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, will hold a ceremony honoring 81 men and women who gave their lives in the line of duty. They range from volunteers to paid career firefighters for structural and wild land.

The pancake breakfast is a great opportunity to come out and meet your Boulder City firefighters. We will be serving pancakes and sausage with coffee and juice.

We encourage parents to bring their children, and let them meet a firefighter, look at the trucks and take a tour of the fire station. This is a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse of the life of a firefighter and to see what our lives are like at the firehouse.

It is on this day that firefighters across the nation are united in brotherhood. Come join us Saturday morning to honor those who have fallen in the past year.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at the firehouse at 702-293-9228. Thanks, and we all look forward to seeing you Saturday morning.

Brian Shea is a Boulder City paramedic/firefighter.

City to nix admin services dept. in favor of deputy city manager

In a move that is really little more than “cleanup” (i.e., bringing official city code into sync with decisions made by the city council more than a year ago), the council voted to approve changes to city code related to the created-but-not-yet-filled position of deputy city manager.

BCHS alumni invited to sit in with the band

In the 1986 film “The Best of Times,” Robin Williams has lived with the regret of dropping a ball thrown to him by quarterback Kurt Russell in the big game in high school. That is, until he gets a chance at redemption more than a decade later.

Better buy a helmet …

It was just the opening salvo, but it appears that lost patience with riders of e-bikes and scooters are to the point that they are ready to go well beyond the “Well, how about more education” approach they opted for back in April.
