Berkeley Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1227

Engine 1 and Medic 1 initiated a fire attack tonight after being dispatched to a fire in the neighborhood.

Yesterday we honored four of our members who retired last year, AO Todd Lowman, AO Dion Williams, FF Tad Travis, and FF Greg Louzao. The newest members were able to hear some historical stories and introduce themselves to many of the retirees who paved the way. One of the retired firefighters had 30 years in and now has 30 years out, this was a very humbling experience for many of us. Thank you #virginiabakery #berkeleyatchclub @augiesmontrealsmokemeat and everyone who made this night special.

Come on out and support the @berkeleyfirefighters on May 12 at 3pm at the intersection of College Ave and Russell st. We will be collecting money for #musculardystrophy #fire #firefighter #mda #berkeley #filltheboot #berkeleyfire #berkeleyfirefighters

Dear candidate: It seemed like yesterday I received a call from the Fire Chief offering me a conditional job with the Berkeley Fire Department. I was ecstatic to began my career after working so hard to prepare myself for this day. I promised myself and my mentors I would never become complacent, always be a student of my profession, and be the public servant I was sworn to be. Almost 3 decades later I still love coming to work, putting on my badge shirt, waiving at kids in ...the engine, and sharing stories with the brothers and sisters I work with. The feelings hasn’t left, it’s been elevated. When we say it’s the best career ever....we really mean it. #bestcareerever #fire #firefighter #firefighters #firejobs #hiringnow #firecareer #berkeley #lovemyjob #training #waterrescue #laddertruck #ambulance #medics #medicschool #internship #rescue #hiring #paramedic #city #emergency #firerecue #berkeleyfiredepartment #berkeleyfirefighters #unionstrong #cafirefighter #dailycal #bfd #chiefmiller #firstresponders #extrication #brotherhood #sisterhood #family #diversity #firehouse #workingfire See more

Local leaders of CPF District 4 led by Vice President Jeff DelBono, were proud to host the 4 declared candidates for CPF Leadership in a set of cluster interviews held at the Teamsters Local 70 hall in Oakland, California.

We share this video so those who could not attend from both the District and around the State can hear the candidates message in this important race.

Our #probies learn so much on probation. This #throwback is from a 18 month test. The firefighter would have to do what we call a D-POSM on each and every piece of equipment you see here to successfully pass his/her final probationary test. #dposm #description #parts #operations #safety #maintenance #berkeley #berkeleyfirefighters #berkeleyfire #paramedic #probation #signoff #throwbackthursday #fire #firefighters #professional #bayareafirefighter #chiefmiller #calfirefirefighters #newfirefighter #bestcareer #firehire #hiringsoon #stayedtuned #timeshavechanged #notbymuchthough #berkeleyfiredepartment
