MDA is dedicated to empowering people living with neuromuscular disease to achieve their potential.  Leading the way, MDA works with partners in industry and institutions to advance care, accelerate research and advocacy, and unite the community.  

For almost seven decades, firefighters like us across the country have been Filling the Boot on street corners to fight back against these diseases – and every year we’ve given millions of dollars to MDA to fund life-changing research and family services. We’re hitting the streets to do it again, and while we’re out there, you can help us fill our boots online.

Let’s support families in our community so we can all grow stronger and live longer together. Thank you for your help!

Membership & Retirees,

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve placed a blanket order and with all the new hires, now is a good time to place another. Pricing is dependent on the total quantity we order, and to make it worthwhile, we need at least 12 orders to make this happen.

In speaking with Logo Knits, they said there's no problem fulfilling our order in time for Christmas if we get it in by Tuesday 1st October.

With that in mind, I’m going to make the deadline to order:

Monday 30th September

Please email me with quantity and if you want the custom embroidery option:

type it out EXACTLY how you want it to appear on your blanket: capitalized, not capitalized, etc… 

We will be sticking with the 63" x 90" blanket like the previous order (this size fits our bunks best). I will not be collecting payment until our order arrives. Please see the attached sheet for more info and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email or text me.

Thanks,

Bob Cooper

On Saturday, September 14th, both Jon Davidson and John Wolff were sworn into the Union by President Dan Olson. Welcome to Local S-6!

RFB - Remember Fallen Brothers - Today is a day of remembrance, sacred in the long history of our proud profession. To remember those brothers who, despite nearly insurmountable odds, got off their rigs and went in and up so that frightened, injured, and panicked civilians might live.

However, it is not only sacred as a day to remember those lost. It is sacred as a day to remember those who survived. Those who persevered. Those who carried on. It was a day that every core tenet of true firefighters was on display for the world to witness as they carried out one of the greatest firefighting and rescue operations that our profession has ever seen. Our world - our American way of life - changed irreversibly on September 11th, 2001, and we owe it to every hero of that day, living and gone, to never forget.
