I got to hang out with the coolest bunch of dudes today! A special thanks goes out to the men of Firehouse 94 of the Los Angeles Fire Dept!
Not only were these guys extremely committed to fundraising this great cause for the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association), but they carried on with the best attitude and sense of humor. They got called out on at least three emergency calls, by my faulty count, throughout the morning and afternoon. These guys would have their engines ready to go at a moments notice.

One thing I also learned is that it turns out firefighters are pretty good at pulling pranks! (And, yes, ladies, Some of these guys are single...).

All in all it was a pretty awesome day.
Hopefully, if things pan out I'll be working on more events with guys like this!
I'd like to thank the MDA (specifically Whitney M. of MDA Los Angeles for coordinating this and setting me up with today). To learn more about the MDA and how you can help please visit:

Check out the map and see if you can stop by any of the planned intersections to give your support. As always if you cannot make it you can make an online donation directly at MDA's website.
On a sidenote, two firefighters were hurt today while responding to an emergency all the while this event was going on. Just to show you these guys don't take a break even while fighting for a good cause, we had just wrapped up the event at our intersection when everyone received the news. My thoughts go out to them and hope they have a speedy recovery:
