I wanted to send an email out regarding tomorrow’s service for on-duty personnel.  Fire administration has agreed to put the city out of service between 0900 and 1300 for all members to attend.  There will be an engine from Easton, Bethlehem, and Emmaus along with Catty’s Ladder and Rescue in the city with radios covering the city and in communication with BC Lenig who will remain in charge of the city.  If needed on duty personnel will be requested to respond as per BC Lenig.

We will need E10 and T2 (new one) cleaned and to the intersection of 18^th and Turner at 0800 for the procession and flag raising.  All other on duty apparatus will arrive at 0900 and park on Turner between St. Cloud and 17^th backing in towards 18th.  These roads will all be closed.  FF Wentz will oversee staging the vehicles please find him if you have a question.

On Duty personnel should wear class B with badge and thin red line badge cover.  Lt Trumbore will be there with badge covers if needed.  If you are participating as Honor Guard your class A with badge cover shall be worn.  If you are on duty and would like to wear your class A that is fine as well.  All uniformed personnel and their family will be sitting on the left side of the church.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me or the Honor Guard squad.

It was a clean sweep yesterday. All of our candidates won their primary except Superior Court. Won: Supreme Court Justice, Both Council seats, both County Commissioners, Sheriff, and Coroner.

Our friends were extremely appreciative of our support at the polls. We were told last night by one of the candidates “Thank you. I have your backs!” This is why we need help at the polls, we have a big impact and candidates know it.

Special thanks to Retired brother Kresege Sr., Retired brother Held, and brothers Eddleman, Groller, Richetta, Bolton, Wentz, and Pierce. Your presence was huge and your support is what makes this possible.

In the Nov. general, we could possibly be facing a referendum, if passed, will require deep cuts to our budget. We will need a lot more help at the polls. Politics are not fun but it impacts all of us whether you agree with it or not. All of our successes as a union is due to having friends in the right places. We need all of our member’s support to continue this progress.

Again, great day yesterday, and thank you to those who support our PAC fund and those who man polls.

In Solidarity,

Local 302 Executive Board

Once again we’re up against it with our candidates. We have two Council people we need to retain. 

With that said, we need your help to man polls Tuesday, May 16th. We will need to fill two shifts morning and afternoon. The morning will be from 0730 to 11, we’ll meet up for lunch at noon, the afternoon will be from 3 to 7ish. The more guys we get the less time individuals have to man a poll. It would be nice to see new guys come out and see what we’ve been doing to make sure our jobs and safety are protected.

We all need to invest our time in holding on to our friends who make decisions that affect our working conditions. We are one bad election away from having to defend our benefits.

Call Perreault (484)892-1787 for details. 

Thank you,

Local 302 Executive Board
