Gladstones Malibu will host a public event on Friday, Feb. 20, to honor members of the Los Angeles Fire Department who responded to last year’s fire along the Malibu coastline.
The gathering, scheduled from 11 a.m. to noon at the oceanfront restaurant located at 17300 Pacific Coast Highway, will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the blaze that threatened coastal properties and prompted a swift emergency response. Organizers say the event is intended to recognize the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who worked to protect lives, homes, and businesses during the incident.
The program is expected to include brief remarks from local leaders and fire officials, followed by the unveiling of a commemorative plaque honoring the LAFD personnel who responded. The plaque will serve as a lasting tribute to the department’s efforts and to the resilience of the Malibu community in the face of disaster.
Community members are invited to attend and show their appreciation for the first responders who stood on the front lines during the fire. Light refreshments will be provided.
Organizers encourage residents, business owners, and supporters to gather in solidarity and reflect on the importance of preparedness, partnership, and gratitude as Malibu continues to recover and rebuild.
