With deep sadness, we share the line-of-duty passing of Acting Battalion Chief Sean Bolan, who lost his courageous battle with occupational cancer.
A mentor, leader & friend since 1999, his impact will never be forgotten. Rest easy, Brother. ❤️🔥
Congratulations to Firefighter Matt Saely, who was awarded the Commendation for Valour earlier today for his actions at the Silverlynn Fire.
Matt bravely rescued several people under hazardous conditions and at great personal risk.
Well done Matt- you truly deserve this honour.
#NeverForget the 343 firefighters that gave their lives on this day in New York 23 years ago.
This sacrifice amounts to more lives lost in one event than the total amount of firefighters working for the three North Shore Fire Departments. @nvcfflocal296@DWVFirefighters
💪 #Unions make a difference, and we never stop fighting for YOU – the fire fighters and emergency medical workers on the frontlines.
✔️ Worker Health and Safety
✔️ Fair Pay
✔️ Strong Benefits
✔️ Dignified Retirements
👷♀️👨🚒 Happy #LabourDay to all our #IAFF members!
