@IAFF302 Allentown Fire Fighters lost brother Chris Kiskeravage after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was a mentor, teacher and friend to everyone. RIP brother, you will be missed.
#IAFFLegCon Pa SB 144 moving favorably through the PA Sen. The bill Prohibits Class B Foam and more importantly it requires a warning label to be affixed to firefighter protective clothing. We need to protect our waterways but more so we need to protect our bloodstreams.
Last day of #ALTS23. Manufacters need to develope an alternative to PFAS for fire fighter gear. Start with limitting exposure to PFAS fire retardents. Re-evaluate Full bunker gear for all fire related calls. We can dress down to limit exposure.
1st day #ALTS23. Focusing on the the cancer causing PFAS chemical which is used in fire fighting gear. Fire fighters are experiencing higher rates of cancer and manufactures need to come up with alternatives. Being a Fire Fighter should not be a death sentence.
It was great to be on hand at the ribbon cutting for the Americus Hotel in our downtown. We enjoy so much support from our local businesses we relish every opportunity to support them back.
The Fire Chief is all set up for Truck or Treat at McDonalds. Allentown trick or treat begins at 6 pm. Please be extra careful on our streets this evening.
@IAFF302 Congratulates this year's Allentown Fire Department award recipients. Special shout out to Fire Fighter Mike Bryant who won the Alfred W Fischl, Fire Fighter Lloyd Evans awarded Fire Fighter of the year as well as Valor and Fire Fighter Steve Costa the Chief's Award.
