🚒 Three new recruits. One strong Local.

As the Lebanon Fire Department’s three newest recruits finish the academy this week, they’ve already made an important commitment — joining Boone County Professional Firefighters Association Local 5195 🔥

They’re joining a strong group of firefighters whose voices are heard and who stand together to advocate for the health, safety, and well-being of our members.

With over 95% of on-duty personnel belonging to Local 5195 from the Lebanon District, there’s strength in standing together.

Welcome to the Local, brothers. Union strong. IAFF proud. 💪🚒

A matter of minutes on September 11, 2001 changed us forever. Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, Military Personnel, and Civilians displayed extraordinary courage and selflessness as they rushed to aid others in sacrifice of their own lives. Your legacy lives on in each us. Let’s reflect today on how we represent the spirit that each of you displayed on that day. Let us Never Forget.
