"These guys are putting their lives on the line every day," Brooks said. "They should have the best equipment, equipment that works on a daily basis, training, this was all avoidable."

The CFD has partnered with Cooper EMS to provide “FF Down CPR” training. While we pray never to employ such measures, Camden FFs can now administer life-saving CPR to their fully-geared brother or sister #firefighter should they find themselves in distress. @PFANJ_IAFF
Update: Last night, Camden FFs & mutual aide units battled a 3 alarm fire as 4 homes were heavily involved. More here: https://t.co/bFWHiup1KO

We don’t need to wait months or years for reports to tell us what we already know: Newark needs better training & better staffing, with 4 FFs on every fire truck every day. That’s the national standard for a city of Newark’s size.
Augie’s & Bear’s legacy will be a safer Newark.
Today, we thank all the veterans of our great country. We extend a special appreciation to all current and former CFD members that have served. @CityofCamdenGov@IAFFofficial@camdencountynj
Conditions encountered by CFD crews upon arrival at today’s fire in an occupied dwelling. Unfortunately, 11 occupants were displaced. Thankfully, there were no injuries to firefighters or civilians reported. @PFANJ_IAFF@CityofCamdenGov@IAFFofficial
