For those diagnosed with mesothelioma, an
asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lung (pleura) or the lining
of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), finding a credible source of
information about the disease itself and the medical options available, is
of the highest priority. After years of research and synthesis of
information, we have assembled a web site and packet for patients and
their loved ones. We hope you find this web site helpful. More

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!

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

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.
