The Asheville Fire Fighters Association would like to say ‘thank you’ to not only the Citizens of Asheville and western North Carolina, but to people from literally around the nation and the world who have shown their support for the Bowen family and the Asheville Fire Department members who were injured during the July 28, 2011 fire at 445 Biltmore Avenue.

Starting Monday, Ausust 22nd T-shirts can be purchased at any Asheville Fire Station. If you are out of town and want to place an order, send your request to ashevillefiredepartment@gmail.com.

Public Safety Collective Bargaining Bill
Posted
On: Jul 30, 2010 (15:12:56)
National Public Safety Collective Bargaining Bill
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
This past Thursday, our friends in the House of Representatives completed the voting process that brought our National Public Safety Collective Bargaining Bill one step closer to passage. Because of the passage of this important legislation in the House, this bill will be coming to the floor in the US Senate after the Fourth of July recess. The bill has bi-partisan support and is only applicable to public safety personnel.
Please contact Senator Hagan as soon as possible and respectfully request that she support our collective bargaining bill. Her contact information is as follows:
Senator Hagan:
DC Office 202-224-6342
Asheville Office 828-257-6510
Thank you for taking the time to contact Senator Hagan in the effort to ensure passage of this monumental legislation!
In Solidarity,
Scott
