This site has updated information on our union as well as any ongoing political concerns. You can e-mail our members directly in our roster page. Members can check up on the latest information on items that directly concern them.

Please remember to bookmark our site and come back later or join our mailing list to keep up with the happenings of our IAFF Local.

We must also be on guard against efforts by management to use the economic crisis as an excuse to get rid of local union leaders or break IAFF local unions.
