25 years ago today, September 11th 2001, an unimaginable and unthinkable tragedy occurred that forever changed our country.
Todayβ¦ we pause, honor, and remember the innocent lives lost on this tragic day. The heroβs who gave their lives by running in while others were running out. All those who searched through the rubble in hopes of finding survivors at both the World Trade Centers and Pentagon. The countless people who took in strangers who were trying to escape the dust cloud pushing through the city and the brave souls who are forever honored in that Pennsylvania field.
On behalf of the members of Local 3571, we would like to send our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers out to the family, friends, and members of Chicago Fire Fighters Union - Local 2 on the sudden passing of Battalion Chief Sean Kevin. Rest easy sir.. 3-3-5.
The Chicago Fire Department mourns the loss of Battalion Chief Sean Kevin. Kevin, 53, was a 30-year veteran of the Department and father of three. During his tenure, he rose through the ranks, serving as a Firefighter, Lieutenant and Captain before being promoted to Battalion Chief in 2023. Kevin had just completed his shift and returned home when he passed away. We are asking for prayers for the Kevin and CFD families, and privacy, during this difficult time. ... See MoreSee Less

This past Friday, we officially welcomed into service our two new Engines, 71 and 72. We did so with members from the community, the village board, and family members of Retired Chief Robert Rubel, whose name is affixed on E71 to honor his memory. Thank you to all those who attended this amazing event. πΊπΈπππΊπΈ

Today, we are honoring the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of working men and women. A win for Unions and Labor is a win for all.
