Redwood City Firefighters
Association Hosts Annual
Fourth of July Pancake
Breakfast Fund-raiser
What kind of meal uses 250 pounds of pancake mix, 25 gallons of maple syrup,
1,500 pats of butter, 2,500 sausages, 50 gallons of coffee, 30 gallons of orange
juice and two gallons of cream? Only one meal comes to mind, and that’s the
annual Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the Redwood City
Firefighters Association.
Once a year, on the Fourth of July, the Firefighters Association puts on this monumental
breakfast event, from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Redwood City’s main fire station
at 755 Marshall St. The cost is only $5 for adults and $3 for kids under the
age of 12. It’s the best breakfast deal in town, on the Fourth of July or anytime!
Last year, nearly 1,000 people enjoyed being served a great breakfast by Redwood
City’s firefighters and helped to raise funds. The association, made up of members
of the Redwood City Fire Department, has helped several organizations throughout
the year. Last year the association donated funds to the B.O.K. Ranch, which
assists with mentally disabled adults. The association also assisted with literacy
programs, the Red Cross and the Burn Foundation. This is the association’s only
fund-raiser of the year.
