Our friend and neighbor, Maryland State Comptroller Brooke Lierman, stopped by the IAFF Local 964 union hall today.

She updated us on the ongoing work in her office, including efficiency controls and responsible AI integration. She also took the time to hear directly from fire officers about the issues that matter most to our members — including apparatus shortages, fair compensation, and the challenges we face every day protecting Baltimore.

We always appreciate the open dialogue and the continued partnership!
