Upper Providence Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 5367

Today marks 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

We remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives that day, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while answering the call. We also remember those who responded in the days, weeks, and months that followed, and those we have lost since from 9/11-related illnesses.

For those of us in the fire service, September 11 is a day that will always mean something a little different. It reminds us of the incredible courage and sacrifice shown that day and the commitment we make to be there for others when they need us most.

25 years later, we continue to remember them, honor their sacrifice, and make sure their legacy is never forgotten.

Happy Labor Day from IAFF Local 5367!

Today is a day to recognize the hardworking men and women who show up every day, work hard, provide for their families, and help keep our communities moving.

For us, Labor Day is also a reminder of the generations of workers who came before us and fought for many of the things we sometimes take for granted today—fair wages, safer working conditions, benefits, and a voice in the workplace.

IAFF Local 5367 proudly represents the career firefighters of the Upper Providence Township Department of Fire & Emergency Services. As firefighters, we know what it means to work as a team, have each other’s backs, and work toward a common goal. Those same values are at the heart of organized labor.

We’re proud to be part of the IAFF, proud to serve the residents and visitors of Upper Providence Township, and proud to stand alongside working men and women throughout our community.

And to everyone working today while others enjoy the holiday, thank you.

From the members of IAFF Local 5367, have a safe and happy Labor Day!
