Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and the community affected by this tragic news

[KCK Fire Department @KCKFDPIO]

It is with a heavy heart to report that the 74 y.o female victim rescued from a house fire yesterday passed away. The heroic & extraordinary efforts of KCKFD firefighters & KU staff provided the victim with a chance to survive. Thoughts & prayers extend to her family & friends.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

He’s aged, that’s for sure.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

We are happy to support Dr Melissa Oropeza for State Rep 37. She is a valued and proven leader in our community that understands putting others first. We are confident under her leadership that safety will always be a priority. Please vote Oropeza on the August 2nd primary.

[Dr. Melissa Oropeza @oropeza4kansas]

As stated before, Local 64 stands by its request for an investigation into the activities of KCKFD and remain confident that an investigation will collaborate our stories regarding the ongoing issues within our Fire Department. @IAFFNewsDesk @IAFFPresident

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

As submitted last year with facts showing the dishonesty within @KCKFDPIO management and lack of accountability, we are confident an honest investigation will further prove the inability of our current leaders to fulfill the oath they swore to our community and its members.

[The Kansas City Star @KCStar]

The protest Tuesday came several weeks after the KCK firefighters’ union registered a vote of no confidence against Deputy Fire Chief Jack Andrade. https://t.co/PNcy5er2Qd

Standing up for your safety while @KCKFDPIO disregards ours.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

Listening to WyCo native @keithmarkmra talk about working families and the benefits workers in Kansas don’t have. Thanks for coming out and great to hear from a strong supporter of workers compensation.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

Thanks Mayor Q, we remain hopeful the updates continue to roll in with positive news but additional prayers are definitely needed.

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

My prayers are with the KCK Fire Department and @KCKfire64 as we hope for the recovery of their injured firefighter.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

It was an honor for our members to have the opportunity to see their hard work first hand

[🇺🇲Eric SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED🇺🇸 @ebhymer]

Job well done by my brothers @KCKfire64

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

Repeated lies have lead to those affected concerned. If you’ve never had an extended 911 response, count your blessings. Those in #WyCo now question, will emergency services be readily available like they once were before? The simple answer? We hoped not!

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

@FOX35Jessica Try that again!

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

@RepDavids @GovLauraKelly @IAFFNewsDesk @iaffdist2 L64 Firefighters in KCK thank you for the guidance your offices have extended us in these dire times. We believe with your offices assistance KCK FFs and their families finally have some much needed relief. Much appreciated!

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

People get us mixed up with KCMO all the time, we don’t take it personal. #TheDotte

The best city for BBQ outside of Kansas City, Missouri is Kansas City, Kansas

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

We may not agree on much today, but something the Kansas City organizations and @TFF754 can both agree on is EDZO. Kansas City will be handling their business today in the meantime.

[Edzo for IAFF @EdzoForIAFF]

Looking forward to a great game tonight between two great teams from two great cities. Two great cities that I am proudly endorsed by. Thank you Tampa @TFF754 Greater Kansas City FF's L42, and @KCKfire64 for your early and enduring support! #OurIAFF #TeamEdzo #ReadyToLead

[Edzo for IAFF @EdzoForIAFF]

Brothers and Sisters, I am humbled to receive the nomination, and the endorsement of almost 700 IAFF Locals, representing over 130,000 Brothers and Sisters from all across North America to be the next General President of #OurIAFF. #TakeBackOurUnion #ReadyToLead #TheTimeIsNow

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

Congratulations Rep Davids for this great accomplishment. Your hard work goes unnoticed and this is further evidence of your commitment and determination to achieve your goals. We look forward to visiting with you about firefighters issues in Washington DC in the near future

[Rep. Sharice Davids @RepDavids]

As someone who used to work at the Dept. of Transportation, and as a self-proclaimed "infrastructure nerd," it's an immense honor to be named Vice Chair of @TransportDems.

Ready to work with my colleagues and @POTUS to pass a infrastructure package so we can Build Back Better.

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

The Unified Government refuses to acknowledge that we have repeatedly ask for a setting in which presentable information supporting every claim we have made. We will continue to work to expose the truth for the betterment of Wyandotte County as a whole.

Union passes ‘vote of no confidence’ in KCKFD chief https://t.co/BEb80UbuXn

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

https://t.co/yJdLJNxC1U

As our County continues to disregard its firefighters, their families, and the community they serve, we will continue this fight until there is proper resolve. @IAFFNewsDesk @iaffdist2 @EdzoForIAFF

[Micheal Mahoney @KCMikeMahoney]

BREAKING: KCK Firefighter Local 64 is calls on KCK Fire Chief Mike Callahan to resign. Union: Callahan does not respect the union’s right to negotiate, ignores valid grievances. Says Callahan’s “mismanagement” & “disregard” for FF safety can’t be tolerated anymore. #KCKFD #KMBC

[IAFF FIRE 64 @KCKfire64]

Reactive instead of proactive. Day by day, we’ve seen constant disregard and left to wonder, what will it take?

[Sarah Plake @SarahPlakeTV]

The @KCKfire64 union says the KCK fire department has dragged its feet with COVID-19 protocols, and its response has been more reactive than proactive. @41actionnews
