Yesterday Alex Rudnicki started his career as a full time firefighter at station 28. Alex has been a proven asset as a part time employee for many years, and we're happy to see him get the nod. Alex, we wish you a happy and healthy career!

Local 2844 would like to thank the Union Fire Association leadership for hiring a qualified candidate to fill this position.

5 years have past since the loss of Brother Royds, the loss was felt across the fire service immensely with those you knew him and worked along side of him. We heard from everyone we spoke to that Brother Royds would go out of his way for anyone without being asked. Not a day goes by that we all miss having him around, we keep doing what he did so well, serve and help those when in a time of need. Keep watch over us Brother!

Happy 4th of July, and 250th anniversary of our independence!!

We hope everyone enjoys the holiday, and stays safe. Remember to keep hydrated (with water) and don't discard any spent at home firework paraphernalia /sparklers in the trash without soaking everything down really well first. Keep any trash cans that have any firework rubbish in them away from any buildings or structures.

Enjoy your weekend, stay safe everyone!
