On Saturday Firefighters and Inspectors from Fort Myer Station 61 hosted kids from the base for our annual Fire Prevention Week Open House. Kids were able to practice many skills, the favorite was squirting water with the big hose. Thanks to all that came out and to those that participated in making this a great day for the kids on base.
Thanks to President Mike Jackson and President Emeritus Jim Dansereau for representing the Fort Myer Professional Firefighters at the Grand Opening of the IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Recovery and Treatment yesterday. This facility is the first of its kind and open to all IAFF Members. The facility will specialize in PTSD and Substance Abuse Treatment.
The IAFF says out with the old "sucks it up buttercup" and in with "it's OK to ask for help".
This Memorial Day, the IAFF Local F-253 paired up with the IAFF communication Dept to recognize our military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country with honor and courage.
We are asking members and supporters to take time to remember those in the Armed Forces who have died serving their country by sharing our public service announcement (PSA) honoring the memory of the brave men and women who helped to defend and protect our way of life.
