There is a path to securing enough career fire fighters to serve our nationโs communities, and the IAFF stands ready to work alongside all levels of government to assist in achieving the goal of protecting all citizens.
Our response to CTV's "Under Fire" segment below.
@CTVW5
Firefighters put their health at risk and their lives on the line. They protect us, and in turn, we'll protect them.
We're acting on our promise to increase presumptive coverage for up to 19 cancers, and include heart attacks within 24 hours of an emergency call. #nspoli
The Officers & Members of @BCFDL734 & @officers964 regretfully announce the line of duty deaths of:
-Lt Paul Butrim
-FFPM Kelsey Sadler
-FFPM Kenneth Lacayo
Please keep their families in your prayers as well as the firefighter who remains hospitalized.
With lots of hard work selling our #movember t-shirts, organizing a small fundraiser at #thebluntbartender and many donations from the public, we are making a donation of $4,251.00 to @MovemberCA ! We want to thank everyone who supported us this year!
