Structure fire E-1, E-7 first due at structure fire in the Kenwood area....read
more and watch some video here on the Daily News website.
Check out our story here or on the "recent runs" page.
Update: posted more pix of this incident.
The Burnin' bush! E-7 was dispatched recently to a possible structure fire. As 7 rounded
the corner a good amount of smoke was noticed but to our relief Wayne FD was on scene...knee deep with a dry chem and garden
hose in full attack mode on a Pampas bush. Needless to say the fire under control & E-7 assisted in the overhaul
stage...E-1 DC-1 continued in for moral support and paperwork. Thanks to the quick action of our neighbor from the north(New Jersey), E-7 was refrained from having rookie FF May(below) pull
a handline and battle the raging inferno...

A message from the President, Shannon R. Stone
Shannon's term as president
ends this June.
Thanks to all the members for the continued support I received
during my two terms as president of Local 2601. I feel we have made great progress during that time and it could not have
been accomplished without the support of each member and the E-Board. It has been an honor to serve the men and women
of IAFF Local 2601.
ELECTIONS for a new President will be held in JUNE 2008. Anyone interested should
contact an E-Board member ASAP.
| ON THE JOB! |

"Sticker club"
Please remove all IAFF markings
from your vehicle when selling, trading-in, etc. The IAFF logo is universally known and respected and identifies both them
and their family members as part of an elite profession and connected to Organized Labor. IAFF decals and emblems should not be given or sold to any individuals or non-family members who are not IAFF members.
What you perceive to be a friendly gesture may be viewed by a police officer as illegal. Police in some states have interpreted
the displaying of an IAFF or fire department logo by individuals who are not firefighters or the immediate family member of
a firefighter as impersonating a firefighter, which is illegal in most states.
DO THE RIGHT THING. REMOVE IAFF DECALS WHEN DISPOSING
OF A MOTOR VEHICLE IN ANY WAY.
Have something to say? Suggestions? We want your input!
Let us know by filling out the box below & we'll get back to ya!
