Local 2598 is saddened to share the news of the off-duty death of Brother Derek Shifflett.
Brother Shifflett began his career in Prince William County in 2008 and served at multiple firehouses throughout the county. Derek was faithful and devoted to his family, career, and brothers and sisters in the fire service.

Captain Mike Mahoney’s (Ret.) Memorial Service
When:
Saturday, September 17, 2022 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Where:
43454 Crossroads Dr, Ashburn, Virginia 20147, United States
Captain Mike Mahoney’s (retired) memorial service in Virginia is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2022, at 11:00 am with visitation to start at 10:00 am. The visitation and service will be held at the Crossroads United Methodist Church, 43454 Crossroads Drive, Ashburn, VA.
System Members are requested to wear their Class “A” uniform as provided or other appropriate uniform.
Thank you to everyone who donated in Loudoun and across the region.
"Loudoun firefighters collected more than $60,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in cash alone, with more in change and online donations yet to be counted, during the first on-the-street “Fill the Boot” weekend in a decade.
Loudoun Career Firefighters Association IAFF Local 3756 President John Myer said firefighters in 2012 collected around $80,000, and in 2011 around $100,000. But Loudoun drivers hadn’t had a chance to drop a dollar in a firefighter’s boot since. The Board of Supervisors in 2013 banned all soliciting from occupants of motor vehicles over safety concerns."
21 years later and we still won't ever forget the nearly 3,000 people who perished on 9/11 and the thousands of rescuers and civilians who suffered from the deadly toxic exposures afterwards.

Look for us out and about this weekend or donate online at https://bit.ly/FTBLoudoun3756
This Labor Day weekend, we will be collecting in the streets for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) “Fill-the-Boot” campaign.
Firefighters will be hitting the streets across Loudoun County between September 3rd – 5th, to support the MDA’s mission and to give the community the opportunity to make a difference in Loudoun.
The Fill-the-Boot drive is the result of a partnership between MDA and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). For over sixty years the IAFF has pledged to assist MDA in any way possible until a cure was found to treat this debilitating disease. Research and assistance for individuals suffering from neuromuscular disease can be an incredible financial burden on a family and we are here to support them.
All funds raised by Loudoun County firefighters assist local families affected by one of the forty-three neuromuscular diseases. These donations provide families with a network of specialized clinics, financial aid for assistive equipment, support groups, informative publications, and accessible summer camps for kids.
If you miss us or would rather make a secure online donation to our 2022 MDA campaign, please visit https://bit.ly/FTBLoudoun3756.
For more information about the Muscular Dystrophy Association and to learn how your generous donations help these amazing kids, please visit www.mda.org.

Firefighters’ gear may increase cancer risk, new studies show

Thank you to the Brothers and Sisters of Horry County Professional Firefighters IAFF L4345 and Horry County Fire Rescue for honoring Brother Mahoney. We can't express our gratitude enough.
We are sad to announce the sudden death of Retired Captain Mike Mahoney. Captain Mahoney passed away doing one of the things he loved most: playing golf in Myrtle Beach. He was a source of constant entertainment, quick with a smile, hug and a joke, and always brought laughter and shenanigans with him everywhere he went. We will pass on any funeral information when it becomes available.

Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day. As we celebrate the hard work, and dedication to service that all of the women of LCFR have demonstrated over the years, we would also like to take a walk back through the history of women in the fire service. Women have been fighting fires for over 200 years. Molly Williams, the first documented female firefighter, was a slave who served with the Oceanus Engine Company #11 in New York City. Molly, called Volunteer 11, was said to be “as good a fire laddie as many of the boys.” She is especially remembered for her work during a blizzard in 1818, when many of the men were ill from an influenza outbreak and unable to help. Lillie Hitchcock was another well-known firefighter of the 19th century. A San Francisco heiress, ‘Firebelle Lil’ was fascinated by firefighters her whole life, and would often chase them to the scene of a fire. She was named an honorary member of the Knickerbocker Engine Company #5 in 1859 after helping the company drag their engine to a fire. Silver Spring, Maryland, and Los Angeles, California, each had their own women’s volunteer fire companies in the 1910s, and King County in California and Woodbine, Texas developed their own all-women fire companies in the 1960s. The first female career firefighters were then hired in the 1970s. Sandra Forcier was hired in 1973 as a Public Safety Officer, a combination police officer and firefighter, in North Carolina. Then, Judith Livers became the first known woman to become a career firefighter when she was hired by the Arlington County, Virginia, Fire Department. Both women retired at the rank of Battalion Chief. And then we have Ruth E. Capello, who was the first woman to become a Fire Chief in the United States in Oregon in 1973. Today, women make up less than 10% of firefighters in the United States. This International Women’s Day we celebrate the women who paved the way for the next generation of female firefighters to join our ranks.
