“December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt
80 years ago today, this surprise raid on the major U.S. Naval base near Honolulu killed more than 2,400 Americans and, in short, brought the United States into World War II.

We had carolers stop by 902’s firehouse to spread some holiday cheer to our on-duty members 🎄🎅
When you’re a professional firefighter, you’re always on duty. This was the case for one Berwyn FIrefighter/Paramedic who was on a flight coming home from vacation when a child had a seizure on the plane. Off-duty Local 506 Member, Mike Koukol, helped stabilize the child until the flight could make an emergency landing. It was Mike Koukol’s quick thinking, caring nature, and professionalism that helped that child and his family when they needed help the most. Great work, Mike! This award was much deserved ✊️❤️👨🚒
