Recently back from the IAFF 7th District’s New Member Conference:
Zane Holland, Will Flanagan, and Aya Crippen had an excellent opportunity to learn about the Unions’s history, purpose, direction, and the importance of protecting each other. The conference is for members with 5 or less years on the job and is held annually in eastern Washington. Well done team!

International Firefighters' Day was celebrated this week. We know, we're pretty great 😏. But we want to highlight all the folks working behind the scenes. Without our hardworking and trusted mechanic staff, the wheels wouldn't turn. THANK YOU for keeping us response ready for the community we serve.

Inspiring the next generation of firefighters.

A young boy and his mother approached the crew and asked to see the fire engine. We were more than happy to show the rig and support an impromptu photo op.

We are your local Gig Harbor Firefighters and we’re here when you need us.

Attention Firefighters! Join us this Sunday evening 4/19/26, 1700, at the Gig Harbor Firefighter's Union Hall in Gig Harbor. Our very own DC Corrigan will be giving a presentation on tactical horizontal ventilation. You do NOT need to be a FOOLS member to attend. Also, Pizza. This is a free event.

Wins for firefighters are wins for the community. When people call 911 for an emergency, they expect instant results from the best firefighters. On our end, that happens through staffing levels, training, health, well-being, and more.

Your gig harbor firefighter union leaders recently had the opportunity to attend the IAFF's Strive for Excellence Conference to learn more about building and supporting excellent working conditions.

Over the past week, Gig Harbor Local 3390 members attended all kinds of high value classes covering topics ranging from "Communication for Local Leaders" to "Data Informed Firefighting."

The IAFF is one of the largest and most influential labor unions in North America, committed to advancing the rights, safety, and future of fire fighters, emergency medical workers, and rescue workers across the United States and Canada.

‼THE RESULTS ARE IN‼ Gig Harbor Fire had 16 people attend the Firefighter Stairclimb, including two chiefs, and one retired chief.

Today is the Firefighter Stairclimb in Seattle and here's why it matters:
- 1300 steps, racing up 69 floors, in sweltering hot bunker gear while breathing through an air pack.
- Donations go to fighting blood cancers.
- Gig Harbor Fire has a record number of participants this year.
- Over $24,000 earned by Gig Harbor firefighters alone.

BIG thank you to everyone in our community that has donated to this important cause and event.
