Santa Monica Firestation # 5 is opening it doors to the community on May 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors can tour the station, ask firefighters questions and take a look at fire equipment. At 9 a.m., the firefighters will serve a free pancake breakfast. At 10:30 a.m., firefighters will demonstrate how they safely remove a trapped victim from a car using tools such as the “jaws of life.” Other demonstrations include extinguishing a real vehicle fire and rappelling to the ground from the top of a 100-foot-tall ladder.

The firestation is located at 2450 Ashland, near Clover Park. The event is free and people are encouraged to bring their children and their camera.
