PEF Division 190

09/25/2026

We'll have a full feature in the PEF Pulse in mid-October, but we can't wait that long to recognize the PEF Members at ITS who participated in the annual Tunnel to Towers climb on Sept. 20 at the Corning Tower in downtown Albany. Every team member climbed every one of the 42 floors in honor of the firefighters who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, raising more than $1,300 for the foundation that helps build homes for the families of fallen first responders. Way to go, team!

❤️ Please Help Support One of Our Own ❤️

Our Division 190 family is asking for your support for one of our own, Scott Moskal, a PEF member and steward who is facing an incredibly difficult fight.

Scott was recently diagnosed with both pancreatic and re**al cancer. He is now facing a long and challenging journey that will include treatment, possible surgeries, and time away from work and home.

Scott has always been someone who shows up for others and gives his time to help his fellow members. As a steward, he has been there to advocate for and support those around him. Now, we have an opportunity to show that same support to Scott and his family.

A GoFundMe has been setup to help Scott, Christa, and their three children with the financial challenges that come with this unexpected journey.

If you are able to contribute, any amount would be greatly appreciated. Please consider sharing and helping us spread the word.

Please keep Scott, Christa, and their family in your thoughts and prayers, or whatever form of support feels meaningful to you.

Let’s come together and show one of our own that his union family is standing beside him.

❤️ Please donate or share:

Hi everyone, my name is Kristen, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request… Kristen Pidgeon needs your support for Standing Together for Scott & Christa
