Welcome to the
Local 841 Member Forum. In this section, you will find everything from
training ideas to stories from fellow firefighters about their
experiences through the years.
Local 841
members--both past and present--are encouraged to share their
experiences within the fire service for the benefit of all Local 841
members. All too often, as senior members retire from the department,
they take with them valuable years of knowledge and experience that are
crucial to keeping the history and traditions of the fire service alive
and well. It is the primary objective of this section to gather this
information in one place for the benefit of our members. If you have
any information you would like to share--from training ideas to on the
job experiences and stories, please
e-mail the
webmaster. All information will be reviewed before being
posted. Thank you.
