Venice’s own Fire Station #63 will hold its annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, May 5, from 8 am until noon at the firehouse at Venice Blvd. and Shell Ave., next to Beyond Baroque.

Come and meet Capt. Rex Vilaubi and his intrepid crew, check out the big red fire engines and equipment, tour the station and enjoy breakfast with your neighbors. Great fun for kids young and old!

All the proceeds from the breakfast are used to maintain and upgrade the station house. This is one case where revenues generated in Venice stay in Venice!

Last year Station #63 responded to an average of thirty calls a day in the Venice area, mainly medical emergencies and traffic accidents.

They are always there for us – here’s a tasty way to show your appreciation.
