In a truly vindictive move by @DonGrebien, the @CityofPawtucket demanded that Central falls pay our members overtime as we cover their shifts, so they can all attend a fundraiser for an active @Local1485 member who is battling cancer. Incomprehensible @wpri12@NBC10@GoLocalProv
In the last year IAFF Local 1261 has lost nearly 75 years of experience to Central Falls Fire Dept.
Good luck Scott Giroux with your new endeavor in CF!
A new day is coming!
All are invited to celebrate the promotion of FF. Clint Lyles to Lieutenant.

Our members were not invited to attend any event this weekend honoring the first responders for their efforts at the horrific shooting @ the ice rink. Regardless of the neglect,we will continue providing Pawtucket with nothing but the excellence & professionalism it deserves.
“Your firefighters that were there to help you that day are still here for you no matter what."
#Pawtucket fire Capt. Jeff Johnson told me firefighters leaned on each other after the tragic shooting. They wanted the BVS hockey team to feel that support, too.

Today was a bitter sweet day for Local 1261.
Retired Lt. Jimmy Allen was sworn in with the Central Falls Fire Dept. Always tough to lose experience coupled with a strong union presence, but he’s going to a fine department and they definitely got one of the good ones.
Good luck!
