Wishing you a safe and blessed Memorial Day as we honor those lives lost while serving America.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” Matthew 5:9

It’s been a jam-packed May schedule for the membership of Local S-6 and the department’s command staff.

For the first time in recent memory, our annual FAA ARFF live burn shifted from June back into May and went off without any injuries. All members are now current in their certifications and summer fun can commence!

This past Friday 19th May, we officially celebrated three of our members successfully completing their probationary year, the 2022 recipient of the Jon D. Kauffmann award, the inauguration of the newly-minted Chief’s Commendation Award, the official badging of Jake Ross as Fire Inspector and finally, we said goodbye to one of our members who’s off to greener pastures across the river.

Needless to say, there’s so much to be grateful for within our ranks. Keep up the great work and Godspeed!

IAFF Local S-6 would like to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal Nathan Kreye on receiving the Chief's Commendation Award. Assistant Chief Kreye has been recognized by Chief Koenig for his outstanding work and strong leadership. He was presented with this honor at the official badging ceremony on May 19th. Godspeed, Brother!

IAFF Local S-6 would like to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Captain/Shift Commander Michael Fecht on being named the Jon D. Kauffmann 2022 Firefighter of the Year award recipient. Mike was nominated by his peers for his outstanding work throughout the 2022 calendar year and was presented with this honor at the official badging ceremony on May 19th. Godspeed, Brother!
