CANCELED: LAFD to host Wildfire Day 2025 on April 19

Published on April 18, 2025

Unfortunately, due to the weather forecast for potentially significant snowfall totals and very windy conditions tomorrow, LAFD has decided to cancel the Wildfire 2025 event.

The Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) invites the community to Wildfire Day 2025 at Ashley Pond Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 19. Families can explore LAFD and Los Alamos Police Department (LAPD) emergency equipment and vehicles, participate in a bicycle helmet fitting, and get a close-up look at a Classic Air Medical helicopter.

Other festivities include the Elks Annual Easter Egg Hunt at 11 a.m., bouncy houses sponsored by Freedom Church, and special appearances by Smokey Bear, Sparky the Fire Dog, and the Easter Bunny!

A variety of organizations will present booths and activities, including Los Alamos Community Services Division, Emergency Management, LAPD and Dispatch, as well as Los Alamos National Laboratory, the U.S. Forest Service, Classic Air Medical, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
