Pat Cary said. He said that Rosenstein told him and others at the station that she was so impressed with the department and she appreciated its recent response to one of her close friends who needed the firefighters\u2019 help.<\/p>\n<p>Cary introduced her to Fire Chief Niko King and others in the department, gave her a tour of the firehouse and told her about the project to restore the engine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe thought it was an amazing project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Later, when he called to thank her again by phone, Cary said that Rosenstein told him she would double her donation, making it $40,000.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10116\">Experimental hepatitis B drug may offer \u2018functional cure\u2019 for some patients<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was blown away, it was so generous,\u201d he said, adding that the money from Rosenstein is the largest donation the restoration project, which is expected to cost $250,000, has gotten.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The engine was in service from 1931 to 1962. After it retirement, it was a staple at community events, the annual Patriots Day Parade and it was Santa Claus\u2019s transport during the town\u2019s annual Hospitality Night kicking off Christmas festivities. Six years ago, its engine failed, and since then, it has sat dormant.<\/p>\n<p>The firefighters\u2019 association has hosted the pancake breakfast for 25 years, with some profits going toward the Seagrave. Ten years ago, Cary said all of the holiday breakfast gigs began being earmarked for the restoration project.<\/p>\n<p>About another $125,000 is needed for its full restoration.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is running, but more needs to be done on the chassis and the exterior. The goal, Cary said, is to get the engine restored for the city\u2019s 100th birthday celebration next year in June.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10114\">AP Exclusive: Trump administration tells prosecutors to stand down on Venezuela leader, sources say<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis is the momentum we need,\u201d he said, \u201cto get it over the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the project or donate, go to LBFFA.org.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A resident surprised Laguna Beach firefighters with a $40,000 donation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
