. @CFD_Local30 is boycotting the city's hiring process for fire chief, saying it’s "ripe for abuse." In a letter signed by Local 30 president and 12 deputy fire chiefs, the union said it will immediately call for a vote of no confidence. #CambMA cambridge.wickedlocal.com/ne…

🔥As call volumes rise, so do the risks facing #firefighters.
@pompiersmtl President Chris Ross recently joined @CP24 to discuss occupational cancer, PPE, staffing, and other steps needed to keep both first responders and the public safe.

🕊️ The IAFF is saddened by the passing of former 7th District Vice President Emeritus James "Jim" Hill.
His leadership helped organize more than 50 IAFF Locals across the Pacific Northwest and strengthened our union for generations of members.

Please join me in saying a prayer tonight for the family and friends of Isai Huerta of Local 1665. Isai, who served with Odessa Fire for 9 years, made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday.
Two other FFs were injured in the incident. They are also in my thoughts as they recover.
Jun 15
This is an incredibly difficult time for the Huerta family, Odessa Fire Rescue, the City of Odessa family, and the entire Odessa community and beyond.

🚒 @PFFG947 members packed City Hall last week to urge elected leaders to strengthen retirement benefits for the city's #firefighters.
Extending the special separation allowance to #firefighters would help recruit and retain personnel & strengthen public safety.

🔥 #OnThisDay in #firefighter history in 1889, the Great Seattle #Fire destroyed the entire central business district.
The city responded by establishing @SeattleFire, increasing the number of hydrants, and changing the city's building codes. @Iaff27

🎗️ On #CancerSurvivorsDay, we honor survivors, those still in the fight, & the caregivers beside them every step of the way.
As cancer remains one of the greatest threats in the fire service, the IAFF will never stop pushing for the protections our members deserve.

I joined the U.S. Conference of Mayors Annual Meeting this week to discuss the apparatus crisis facing fire departments across North America.
Cities are paying more, waiting longer, and being forced to keep aging apparatus in service. That's putting public safety at risk.
