For the 32nd year in a row, the June 11 Beverly Hills Firefighters’ Association’s (BHFA) Backdraft Ball was the hottest ticket in town, with firefighters, city officials and enthusiastic residents gathering at the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel to honor the men and women who risk their lives to keep the community safe.
KTLA Morning News Anchor Jessica Holmes, who hosted the program, infused the event with humor and some light hijinks, while auctioneer Chuck Dukas kept the energy high as he bid off luxurious items including a Tulum getaway, an African safari, and the most highly coveted, a home-cooked meal at Fire Station 1 on Rexford Drive.
