PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Mike Kary opt

The work done by our past Union members has built a strong foundation of tradition and dedication to our community and each other. It is my honor to represent the Professional Firefighters of the IAFF Local 2403. I will work to strengthen our union principles while ALWAYS promoting Unity, Trust, and Integrity.

The mission statement at Adams County Fire Rescue is “We are a progressive well-prepared emergency response organization that enhances our community by providing compassionate, professional high-quality fire, rescue, EMS, and prevention services.” To accomplish this mission when the tones go off is that Local 2403 advocates for safe working conditions and fair compensation for our firefighters. In today’s fire service, we must meet the demands of our firefighters by providing consistent training and having quality equipment while also protecting and enhancing our members’ rights and compensation. How do we do this, by educating ourselves and the public about the hazards that affect us first responders.

The goal is to protect those who protect others, so they can focus on providing the highest quality of Fire Rescue and Emergency Services to the citizens of Adams County. We will continue to work hard to improve our members and their family's quality of life through ongoing negotiations and fostering cooperative labor-management relationships.

It is through good communication that will allow Local 2403 to keep working together as one, in one direction with goals focused on the common good for all. We need to keep moving forward and not look back! To our members, we will do our best to keep this website full of the latest and most current information available to you.

Respectfully,
Mike Kary Signiture
Mike Eason - President of Local 2403
