Thirty (short) Years ago today signifies the beginning of my career in the Fire Service and also the start of membership into the very proud & bold organization, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). Its been a rewarding experience in all regards. I am truly blessed to have been given this opportunity. I am surrounded by the most compassionate/dedicated people on the job who make life saving and life altering enhancements every single day on behalf of individuals, that in most probability, they have never met.

It has been my experience, within the Fire/EMS/911 Dispatch Service(s), our members consistently look forward to making a positive difference and/or having helped a positive outcome, with the onset of every shift of duty.

I would also like to recognize all our IAFF affiliate leaders throughout, who have gone above and beyond, by dedicating their lives in doing "Whatever it Takes" to assist our members who are on the front lines doing remarkable work, day after day.

Lastly, thanks to my wonderful family for all their support and sacrifices over the years on behalf of the cause.

May God Bless all First Responders as well as every Citizen and Community that we all so proudly serve/protect.

Happy July 4th Holiday Weekend......Keep it Safe!

THANK YOU......and particularly during these trying times with this pandemic health crisis.

It is with profound sadness that the IAFF 2nd District members and staff announce the passing of Battalion Chief Mel Emge with the O'Fallon Fire Protection District. Please keep the Emge family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you Chief for your years of service and dedication to your Brothers and Sisters, the OFallon Fire Protection District and the community you served for many years.

The IAFF’s 2nd District affiliate members are deeply saddened due to the line of duty death of West Peculiar Fire Protection District and IAFF Local 3112 Member, Firefighter/Paramedic Charles “Chuck” McCormick. Fire Fighter McCormick, along with crew members, were battling a fully involved house fire today when conditions rapidly deteriorated, entrapping him.
Chuck was an Army Veteran prior to beginning his career as a Fire Fighter, first at South Metro Fire and then with the West Peculiar Fire Protection District. Chuck leaves behind a loving wife Rachel and three adoring sons.
Collectively, our hearts are broken. In our profound grief we stand united and in solidarity behind the members of the West Peculiar Fire Protection District, and in particular, with Chuck’s wife, sons, and family.
Funeral arrangements will be made and disseminated in the days to come. We thank everyone in advance for their thoughts, prayers, and expressions of condolence.

Fraternally,

Mark Woolbright
IAFF 2nd District Vice President

A little International Association of Fire Fighters EMS history to go along with EMS Week this week!
#strongertogether

•The late 1960s saw the emergence of specially trained personnel for emergency medical support. Although some towns had a “rescue squad” in place, most systems to for getting patients to a IAFF History: Honor, Struggle and Action 6 hospital were ill equipped to handle medical emergencies and the death toll was high. The need for trained technicians and specific transportation became a focus through a report published through the National Academy of Sciences called, Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society . Important legislature was at the center of the emerging Emergency Medical Service (EMS): The National Highway Safety Act of 1966 established national standards for inspections of emergency services vehicles. The National Traffic and Motor Safety Act of 1966 specified ambulance design and construction. The Emergency Medical Services Systems Act of 1973 directed each state to develop an emergency service system. Today, the IAFF Fire & EMS Operations/GIS Department provides comprehensive information on fire departments and fire-based EMS that assists in improving the working conditions of IAFF members. The Department promotes appropriate staffing and deployment for fire suppression and the effectiveness of fire-based emergency medical services systems by providing local affiliates with the tools necessary to develop, enhance and protect their working conditions.

Happy EMS week from IAFF 2nd District!
