[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

The Acabou and Brooks families are proud of the lives well lived by Augie and Bear, and equally proud of their brave service to the citizens of Newark. Nothing hallowed the grounds of this city more than the sacrifice they made. (2/3)

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

It is this Union’s mission to ensure the legacy of their sacrifice is a safer Newark and safer Newark firefighters. To assert that our efforts are divisive is a fallacy. The Newark firefighters have never been more united in making Newark safer. (3/3)

During tonight’s @Harrisburg_NC town council meeting we were repeatedly called a “special interest group” the @IAFFofficial and the @PFFPNC are labor union that supports firefighters when municipalities won’t. Retain your firefighters, pay a living wage! #pffpnc #iaff

[Scott Mullins @mullins_pffpnc]

A very dangerous staffing issue w/ no end in sight. @Harrisburg_NC Town Mgr, who is #PlayingWithFire, says they “did not see a break in service” when the station was closed…Retain your firefighters. Treating them well would be a great start. @JaneMonreal @cpffa3393
