Good Afternoon,
Tonight, President Warmkessel will be giving a speech at the Democratic National Convention at approximately 8 PM. There is a possibility that this could begin a few minutes later than 8 PM. Stay tuned.
We will also post a clip after the speech on our social media platforms if you are unable to watch it live.
Regardless of your political beliefs, this is a true testament to President Warmkessel’s ability to convey a message and how far we have come as a local.
Thank you,

Congratulations to class 2024-1. This was a significant sized class. We added 17 fire fighters to our ranks, 12 of which were through a SAFER grant. These new members will help to keep our city safe and continue serving the citizens of Allentown through community outreach. It’s always exciting to see our city grow and leaders who understand the importance of having strong public safety. Serve our city with pride, dedication, and compassion.

We are still looking for help at the polls tomorrow. We will take whatever you can give. We are low on help for the 1530 shift. Call Joe Hottenstein for details and availability.

The Pa Primary is next Tuesday, April 23rd. Our candidates list is small this time around, two to be exact. We met with a few candidates for State Attorney General and Treasure. The two we are endorsing, we have long standing relationships with at the Capitol.
Our State Treasure candidate is the current House Majority Leader Ryan Bizzarro. Ryan has stood with us on everything from Paycheck Protection to current legislation like PTSI Workman s Comp and PFAS. Time and time again he has proven to be a man of his word, always standing with Fire Fighters.
Jared Solomon is our candidate for State Attorney General. Jared is the current Chair of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee where the majority of Fire Fighter bills pass through. Jared and his team have been instrumental in getting PTSI and PFAS to the finish line this session. Both of those bills have been stuck in limbo for over six years. With Jared’s dedication to our health and safety and his team’s legislative expertise, we are almost there.
Both candidates have been there and continue to be there for us, it s our turn to be there for them. We know they will always advocate for Fire Fighters no matter where their path takes them.
With all that said, we need your help next Tuesday manning the polling stations. Morning 0700 to 1130ish Afternoon 1530 to when the polls slow. We will get together for lunch at noon. Polling station locations will be handed out when the schedule and roster are complete.
