One of our own needs your support.

Our brother, Birmingham Firefighter/Paramedic Bob Abraham, is facing a battle with Stage III colon cancer.

At just 39 years old, Bob is a devoted husband, father of three, firefighter, paramedic, and educator who has dedicated his career to serving others.

Now, it’s our turn to stand behind him and his family.

The Yard Foundation has established a fundraiser to help ease the financial burden as Bob undergoes treatment and recovery.

We’re asking our community, fellow first responders, friends, and families to rally around Bob.

If you’re able to donate, please consider doing so. If you can’t, sharing this post can make just as meaningful a difference.

Nobody fights alone. We’ve got your back, Bob.

The Birmingham Firefighters Union extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of retired Firefighter/Paramedic Mike Morrissy, who passed away on October 16, 2026, at the age of 76.

Mike dedicated many years to the fire service throughout his career, ultimately retiring from the Birmingham Fire Department in 2009. We are grateful for his service and the contributions he made to the fire service community.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Congrats BC Slack on this awesome achievement!

Tonight we celebrated Battalion Chief Mike Slack as he completed Eastern Michigan University’s Fire Staff and Command Executive Leadership Course. A grueling 9 month program that uncovers all aspects of administrative leadership training. Congratulations BC Slack! Job well done.

88 days without a contract.

88 days of continued commitment to our community.
Birmingham firefighters continue to show up every day and deliver the service our residents deserve.

We believe it's time for the City to demonstrate that same commitment at the negotiating table.
Our community deserves dedicated firefighters, and those firefighters deserve a fair contract.
88 days and counting.

Yesterday, two of our on-duty OAKWAY tech rescue team members were deployed to Oxford to assist with a trench rescue—an incident that required specialized training, coordinated operations, and a commitment to doing the job safely and professionally.

While the titles firefighter and paramedic already carry tremendous responsibility, many of our members go above and beyond those roles. They dedicate additional time to becoming part of specialty teams, maintaining advanced certifications, and continually training for the complex, low-frequency emergencies that demand more than routine fire and EMS operations.

Technical rescue incidents such as trench collapses require deliberate scene management, hazard recognition, shoring and stabilization, confined-space considerations, patient care in difficult environments, and seamless teamwork among multiple agencies. Because our members invest the time and effort to build and maintain these skills, they are prepared to step in when our neighboring communities need help.

We are proud of the two members who represented our department and union yesterday, and we are grateful for all of the responders who worked together to safely remove the victim.

Moments like this remind us why we stay united — to support one another, serve our community, and protect the integrity of our profession.

Welcome to the union, Evan. Stronger together.
