Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - Known for fighting fires, not causing them, a group of Puerto Vallarta firefighters and lifeguards are threatening to set off some sparks on Friday night, October 11th at Encuentros Pizza Pasta Bar Lounge.

Festivities begin at 7 pm and will include special drink prices, live entertainment, food specials, raffle, mini-auction and, of course, appearances by our calendar models. Encuentros Pizza Pasta Bar Lounge is located at Lazaro Cardenas 308 in Old Town.
