Farmington Firefighters are at the Roundhouse working on capital outlay requests. Last year, @GovMLG helped the Farmington Fire Department secure funding for their new aerial platform. This year they are pursuing funding for new SCBA's and a UTV. @team10th#nmpol#nmleg
@koat7news reports from Deming, NM where 2/3 of the firefighters submitted two weeks notice for low wages of $12.95/hr.
"Deming is on the verge of a public safety crisis. It is time for local leaders to lead and make a fair, long overdue investment."

They do not want someone who is practicing on them until they move on to the next better thing.
Don't let Deming become a stopover department. Stand with Deming's fire fighters - $12 an hour is not a fair wage for placing your life on the line. #deming#nmpol#nmleg
It is about value.
The cost to train and equip a fire fighter/paramedic is not cheap. The years of local knowledge and experience in handling emergencies is incalculable.
When the public calls 911, they expect a professional who is vested in the community to respond.
$12 an hour. That's what many fire fighters in Deming, NM make after a decade of serving their community.
The city gave a raise to their police officers, but neglected the other vital side of public safety. @IAFFNewsDesk @team10th@NMFLaflcio
