On July 4, 2025, Monterey Firefighters held their annual Pancake Breakfast Benefit at Firehouse #11. All proceeds from the morning's events benefited Monterey County Youth Museum (MY Museum).

MY Museum serves over 65,000 children and caring adults each year by providing an environment where children learn through play. In addition to the breakfast, there were fun activities where kids could meet the firefighters, view classic fire engines, play games, and get their faces painted.
