PHOENIX (CBS5) -

Welcome to the Hard Rock, we've got fun and games.

Actually, the Hard Rock Cafe was the backdrop of a burger eating contest between the Phoenix Police Department and Phoenix fire crews, staged especially for the respective charities of the two state emergency units.

Fire trucks and police cars were parked outside the cafe in a show of support for the charities and personnel.

Hard Rock Cafe celebrated its 41st anniversary by offering all emergency service workers with a badge a "Legendary Burger" for just 71 cents.
