A heroes’ welcome was waiting for Disneyland Fire Department firefighters Mark McLean and Larry Chu, along with six other local firefighters and police personnel, during a special cavalcade in Disneyland park on Monday, May 5. All of those honored during the cavalcade bravely responded on the frontlines of the devastating Los Angeles fires in January 2025.
Chien Yu of Pasadena Fire Department, Collin Davis of Sierra Madre Fire Department, Adam VanGerpen of Los Angeles Fire Department and Ian VanGerpen of Los Angeles Fire Department kick off the Heroes Salute Cavalcade.
The celebration marked the first day eligible California firefighters, Los Angeles-based law enforcement personnel and emergency medical technicians, who helped combat the LA fires, could use their complimentary Heroes Tickets for themselves and a guest to visit The Happiest Place on Earth.
