Local 1645, Salt Lake City Utah
Salt Lake City, UT had a big turnover after the past election in November. This
resulted in a new mayor and several new city council members. We
decided that this would be a perfect time to introduce them to the fire
service and our issues with a Fire Ops 101 class. It was a
resounding success. More

Noble of Roseville, Michigan is an
amazing young man who has cerebral palsy and chronic lung disease. When
his mother, Laurie, adopted him as a fetal alchohol syndrome baby, he was
not expected to live a week. In January of 2007 Andy turned 17 years old.
Although physically challenged, Andy has one passion: to become a
Firefighter, Police Officer, or Emergency Responder. To support her son's
dream, Laurie writes letters to Police and Fire Departments around the
world to request patches and memorabila. His collection of patches now
approaches 15,000. More

Just looked at your site. Awesome to see Andy's Link. I need to
ask a favor. Andy's 18th Bday is Jan 31. It is a milestone as
he was never suppose to make it . Could you post and ask
everyone to send him a birthday card? His mom would like this
to be wonderful day as the cards just like the patches are
what keeps him going. His address is
17368 Lowell St.
Roseville Mich. 48066.
His patch collection is amazing. I can't wait to see the badge
collection in his attic.
Thanks for all you do!

Voter Registration
As we roll into another year of elections, we
want to remind everyone to check their voter registration status.
This is especially important if you have moved
since you last voted in an election of any kind, or have not voted
in a long time.
If you are not registered to vote, you
cannot vote.
If you cannot vote (or choose not to), your
politicians probably don't care what you think.
Be a citizen. Register and vote!

It
Takes FOUR
Why does the Salt Lake City Fire Department need four
firefighters on every fire engine and ladder truck?
There are many reasons that
the Salt Lake City Fire Department needs and should have four
firefighters on every fire apparatus.
Some of these reasons are to meet industry standards from
agencies such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Other reasons are for the safety of firefighters while
performing their duties. And
most important is that four firefighters allows our department to
deliver a higher level of service to the citizens of Salt Lake
City. 
NFPA 1710
The International Association of Fire
Fighters is strongly advocating the implementation of NFPA 1710
across the United States and Canada. Our International continuously
lobbies politicians on the federal level to recognize the standard,
and attempts to gain the needed support to make it a federal
requirement. More information, see below.
