Princeton Firefighters Local 466 stands along side our brothers in Bluefield.
For years the pay rate for Firefighters has been low. We are here 24/7 protecting the citizens we have sworn to protect. Staffing in small municipal fire departments is nearly always at a minimum. Our members dedication to the communities we serve should be paid with a fair wage.

We stand beside you Bluefield Firefighters!

Bluefield firefighters make $13.26 per hour while City Manager Cecil Marson makes $162,000 annually. Marson’s salary is much higher than city managers in other larger West Virginia cities.

Princeton Firefighter Local 466 would like to publicly endorse Brother Brian Blankenship for his bid for Mercer County Commission. Brian’s dedication to public service goes back more than 20 years as he spent time as a Volunteer Firefighter before he was hired with the Princeton Fire Department choosing a career as a firefighter. Brian worked diligently for our union always helping in every aspect too help ensure firefighter safety was at the forefront. We think Brother Blankenship will continue to serve as an advocate for public safety and will serve Mercer County well as County Commissioner.
