LOS ANGELES, CA – February 7, 2025 – This Valentine’s Day, Audacy’s K-EARTH 101 (KRTH-FM) in Los Angeles is turning love into action by honoring the heroic first responders who battled the devastating fires in January. 

On February 14 from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PT, the station will invite listeners to “Buy Breakfast for a Firefighter” at HomeState, a Pasadena restaurant that survived the fire, to show appreciation for the local first responders and buy them breakfast. Morning show hosts Gary Bryan and Lisa Stanley will broadcast live from the event. 

“We are deeply grateful for the brave first responders who tirelessly worked to combat the fires and safeguard our community,” said Jeff Federman, Regional President, Audacy Southern California. “This Valentine’s Day, we’re excited to unite with our fellow community members and HomeState to honor these heroes’ unwavering resilience and sacrifice.”

“We’re in the middle of so much of the impacted area near Altadena, right on the corner of Altadena and Pasadena where homes as close as two blocks from here were unfortunately lost in the fires,” said Andy Valdez, Director of Marketing, HomeState. “We’re so excited to open our doors to the community once again and show some love that they need right now. Nothing says love like tacos and warm hospitality.”

HomeState is a Texas Kitchen in Southern California that shares breakfast tacos, queso, brisket, house-made flour tortillas and genuine hospitality. Following the fires, they have shared 7,000 meals with the community out of their parking lot in conjunction with World Central Kitchen. HomeState Pasadena continues to provide meals to first responders, volunteers and neighbors impacted by the fire, supported by World Central Kitchen and its Guest Wildfire Relief Fund.
