The Stamford Fire Department is running a toy drive this month at all their fire houses. I dropped some toys off today and stopped by to say thanks to the men and women who protect Stamford every day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters in #Newark following the line-of-duty deaths of Augusto "Augie" Acabou and Wayne "Bear" Brooks last night. May we always honor their sacrifice.

Just wait until I tell you about the harmful gasses that fire fighters are exposed to every day… and then still have to fight for treatment to battle the diseases those toxic gasses cause.

The wildfire smoke from Canada has already impacted millions of Americans, and researchers are finding out just how many harmful gases could be in it.

State reps @khanna_rachel and Hector Arzeno at @ctfirepac event in Stamford. Khanna and Arzeno were sponsors of our recently passed occupational cancer coverage bill. It would not have been possible without the tremendous support we received from legislators all across CT.

It was a pleasure spending the day with State Reps @khanna_rachel and @coreypparis in Hartford for the @upffa @IAFFofficial Fire Ops 101 program. The program aims to educate decision makers about the capabilities and needs of fire fighters serving CT communities. @IAFFLeg

Every day in Canada and the U.S., fire fighters wear gear laden with toxic #PFAS forever chemicals. It is killing us. The @IAFFofficial is fighting to change that and hold accountable those who have let these carcinogens stay in our PPE.

Needless exposure to toxic 'forever chemicals' in our bunker gear has made too many of our brothers and sisters sick. For them, and for future fire fighters, we will pursue every avenue to get PFAS out of our protective gear.

Unions deliver better wages, benefits, and working conditions for members. ‘Right to Work’ laws are misnomers, meant to undermine workers’ rights, voice, and value. Good on Michigan for seeing through Right to Work for less!
