This past week two of our members raised their hand and offered their time to attend the National Honor Guard Academy.

Local 333 and its members outfit an Honor Guard to be present at formal events, funeral services and many other activities that come up throughout the year.

This is a task that is taken on with the utmost respect and professionalism any time they are called upon and by attending this weeks training Brother Schwab and Brother Reynolds have not only expanded their own skills and knowledge but will be able to come back and help the entire team improve as well.

Congratulations on completing this week’s training! Thank you both for your continued efforts to serve our community and our Local!

“A Hero’s Welcome”
By Robert Longley

“Time to come home dear brother
Your tour of duty through
You’ve given as much as anyone
Could be expected to do

Just a few steps further
The smoke will start to clear
Others here will guide you
You have no need to fear

You have not failed your brothers
You clearly gave it all
And through your selfless actions
Others will hear the call

So take your place of honor
Among those who have gone before
And know you will be remembered
For now and evermore”

Today, 10 firefighters were forced into 12-hour overtime assignments!

This means:
-1/3 of the of the Firefighters who worked their shift yesterday were forced to work again today.
-3 firefighters are now working their second consecutive forced tour.
-Another 3 firefighters stepped up voluntarily to help cover staffing shortages.

That’s the current problem. Kicking the Can and the City continuing to treat overtime as the answer to covering shifts.

Heres the answer. We need the city to hire more firefighters. We need our authorized strength to increase. There are individuals who have taken the tests and signed up to be considered. It’s time to fill the seats the right way and for the City to hire more firefighters.
