Raleigh Professional Firefighters' Community Event
2024-08-07 18:00 - 20:00 | Crafty Beer Shop, 8450 Honeycutt Road, Raleigh, NC, 27615
Good Morning Raleigh Firefighter Supporter,
On behalf of the over 400 members of the Raleigh Firefighters Association that I represent, I’d like to cordially invite you to our next Meet and Confer Chat. This informal community meeting is an opportunity to sit down with firefighters, residents like yourselves, and elected officials to share frank discussion on the state of your fire department and safety in the City of Raleigh. At this event we will be hosting Councilor Megan Patton (District B), Councilor Jonathan Melton (At-large) and Councilor Mary Black (District A). With elections coming up this fall, we are rallying the community to support your firefighters and the best way to do that is to sit down with elected officials and let them know that is a priority to you (the voters). We’re just shy of 50 vacancies now (but we haven’t added new firefighters since 2014, for a city this size we are 150 firefighters short), and the City Manager’s office is heavily stalling our quest for a critical benefit that would help retain firefighters and make fire protection safer–Separation Allowance. We’ll go into more detail at the meeting, but we need your help Raleigh.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors and let’s chat!
When: Wednesday August 7th from 6-8pm
Where: Crafty Beer Shop, 8450 Honeycutt Road
We will have another event in District D (Southwest Raleigh) in September, and one last event in District C (Southeast Raleigh) in October.
Come join us!
