Congrats to Firefighter/Paramedic Kurt Kroemer on his promotion to Captain! Captain Kroemer is a member of IA-TF1, president of the @CRFF_Found and a longtime leader of Local 11.
Congrats to Captain Justin Jensen on his retirement after 30 years! Spending most of his time at Station 1, ‘JJ’ was a Local 11 President, Kirkwood instructor, and heavily involved is Special Operations, including being Search Manager for IA-TF1. Enjoy surfing, JJ!
Congrats to all the L11 members, city employees, and CR civilians, who received awards at the 2023 Recognition Ceremony. Many lives were saved this past year and those involved should be proud of their work!
