Representing the Professional Firefighters of the Rock Island Arsenal Fire & Emergency Services

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to The Yard Foundation for their extremely generous donation to our members during this difficult time. Words will never be able to fully express how thankful we are for your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support.

We encourage everyone, if able, to support The Yard Foundation in return-whether by signing up for a Yard Card Membership or making a donation to their foundation-so they can continue their incredible work of helping those in need within our community and beyond.

Your generosity has been a huge step in the right direction, but as the government shutdown continues, our firefighters remain on the job without pay. We still have a long road ahead, and your support reminds us that we're not walking it alone.

From all of us at Local F292-Thank You!!! Your support means more than we can ever say.

————————————————————————————————

If you are able, consider grabbing one of our T-Shirts or a simple donation to the GoFundMe. Thank you to everyone who has already purchased a T-Shirt and donated. We will never be able to express the support we have been given, but we will continue to show up every day and answer the call to keep our community safe.

On behalf of the members, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Jersey Mike's Subs for your generous donation to our department. Your thoughtfulness and support mean a great deal to our firefighters, especially as we continue to answer the call during the current government shutdown.

Your kindness not only provided a great meal but also reminded us of the strong bond we share with the community we help protect. It's gestures like yours that remind us why we take pride in calling this area home.

Thank you again for your generosity and continued support of your local federal firefighters. We're proud to stand alongside businesses like yours that care so deeply for those who serve.

A message from President Sweeney:

Rock Island Arsenal Professional Firefighters Need YOUR Help During Government Shutdown

Greetings to all our brothers, sisters, supporters, friends, community members, and families,

We reach out to you today with the deepest humility and a heavy heart. Your Rock Island Arsenal Professional Firefighters need your help. We take immense pride in being members of a profession dedicated to serving others in their greatest moments of need, but right now, we are the ones who need a hand.

*So there is no confusion, my firefighters are not receiving pay AT ALL, not short checks, not partial checks. Legitimate LES's (leave and earning statements)that are $0.00.*
