International Association of Fire Fighters

Bobby Kilduff loved being a fire fighter. But more than anything, he loved being a dad. Today, Frank Siller called his children to say @Tunnel2Towers will pay off their family home and support their education. I’m grateful for all they do for the families of our nation’s heroes.

@IAFFPresident @IAFFofficial @LOCAL_718 @THE_PFFM We’re so sorry for your loss, Ed. Our thoughts are with you, Bobby’s family, and all of the @IAFFofficial family who love him.

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best. For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

🇺🇸 🙏 This #MemorialDay, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our country. Their sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today – and it will never be forgotten.

🩺✨ May is National #WomensHealthMonth. As research on occupational cancer and reproductive health advances, #IAFF leaders and researchers are working to translate emerging science into stronger policies, better protections, and reduced risk for women #firefighters.

🙏 @Tunnel2Towers launched its Steel Across America tour ahead of the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11, carrying a WTC steel beam through 35+ stops across 21 states and D.C. #IAFF Locals along the route are helping honor those who answered the call. ➡️ t2t.org/steel-across-a…

The IAFF extends our condolences to the friends and family of 27-year-old Andrew Cross, and all those he served alongside in the Morrill Volunteer Fire Department. We are also keeping those injured in yesterday’s explosion in our thoughts as they recover.

Promises made. Promises broken. On the campaign trail, @GovernorVA committed to fighting for public workers and ensuring they had a voice on the job. This week, she vetoed legislation that would have done exactly that. brnw.ch/21x2wKN

@GovernorVA's veto is a betrayal of her repeated commitments on the campaign trail to support workers. Her decision will not only make Virginia communities less safe, but it risks the safety of their #firefighters, as well.
