A remarkable tribute to their dad, BK.
"The only thing he loved more than being a fire fighter was being our dad."
Hanna Jane and Mason, you will never walk alone. Your IAFF family – 366,421 strong across the U.S. and Canada – is with you always.

BK loved the job and our city, but more than anything, he loved his kids – Mason and Hanna Jane. Please keep them, his family and friends, and our Local 718 brothers and sisters, in your prayers. (3/3)
Bobby made the ultimate sacrifice last night battling an aggressive 3-alarm fire in Dorchester. Through the efforts of Bobby and others on scene, all five residents made it out safely, and the fire was kept from spreading to adjacent homes. (2/3)
Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.
For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

Promises made. Promises broken.
On the campaign trail, @GovernorVA committed to fighting for public workers and ensuring they had a voice on the job. This week, she vetoed legislation that would have done exactly that.

Today is May Day, or International Workers’ Day, when we honor the sacrifices of workers who fought for our basic rights.
I've worked my whole life -- firefighter, snow plow driver, and everything in between. When I'm in D.C., I'll stand up for working people at every turn.
“Every single day, we have to get up and be better.”
That’s what #IAFFStrive is all about. Building stronger #firefighters and #union leaders.
In Las Vegas, @iaffpresident set the tone.
