🔥Still Serving: A Message of Continued Support for Hartford Firefighters L760🔥

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the incredible dedication of the Hartford Firefighters of Local 760.

Despite working for 334 days without a ratified contract, our brave men and women continue to show up every single day, putting their lives on the line to protect our community.
Their commitment is unwavering, even in the face of serious challenges throughout the year and as of recent:

• Apparatus accidents that have almost injured members while operating at emergencies.
• Multiple major structure fires, some with an unfortunate loss of civilian life.
• The recent terrifying incident where two firefighters fell through a floor while battling a blaze on Thanksgiving Eve.
• Increased cancer rates that have plagued firefighters all across the nation.

Our members are providing the highest level of emergency service under immense stress and uncertainty about their futures.

It’s time for a fair contract that reflects the danger, sacrifice, and essential service we provide. Our dedicated firefighters deserve to be supported and protected just as they protect the City of Hartford.

It's time for the City to recognize and ratify a contract that honors the sacrifice and courage of Hartford Fire Fighters L760.
