Our EMS is second to none! They provide the @CityPortland with the best care around. We’re the busiest department in the state and last year was the busiest in history. Lets recognize the hardest working ems providers in Maine @IAFFofficial @IAFFPresident #PortlandMeFirefighters

Thank you @IAFFPresident and @IAFFofficial for fighting to keep firefighters safe and protected against harmful toxic #pfas that are in our turnout gear. Our job is dangerous enough, we shouldn’t have to worry about our gear.
Happening Now: @IAFFPresident announcing the IAFF has filed suit against the National Fire Protection Association to remove standards keeping toxic #PFAS forever chemicals in fire fighter protective gear.

A message from your fire safety experts:
Check your smoke alarms when you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Press and hold – you should hear a loud beep if it is good. #portlandmefirefighters #portlandme #portlandmaine #firesafety #fireeducation #IAFF #IAFFSafetyTips
