President Obama visits Fire Station 5
Posted
On: Feb 04, 2012 (11:36:25)
February 3, 2012
On February 3, 2012, the ACFD had the distinct honor of welcoming President Barack Obama to Fire Station 5. He was introduced by ACFD Lt. Jake Johnson. You may view the speech here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/2012/02/03/president-obama-speaks-about-veterans-job-corps Unfortunately, I was not able to find video of Lt. Johnson's introduction, but everyone agreed that he did an outstanding job. If anyone can find video, I will gladly post it to this site.
President Obama delivered a speech outlining his Veterans Jobs Corps bill, which he proposed during the state of the union address. This bill would help veterans who are leaving military service, find jobs in the civilian sector. As well, it would offer incentives to municipalities that desire to attract and hire military veterans.

L2800 Members "Rebuilding Together"
Updated
On: Dec 04, 2011 (20:05:00)
On November 22, 2011 L2800 members Justin Tirelli, Matthew Orloski and Amanda Murphy partnered up with the charity "Rebuilding Together" to help build a wheelchair ramp for a disabled single mother of 2. Despite the rain and mud, our brothers and sister spent all day installing deck boards with other volunteers from NOVA. No air tools here, just hammers and nails. It was a great experience and we are looking forward to doing it again.
There will be more opportunities for this kind of work in the coming year so if anyone is interested please let Lt. Justin Tirelli know. Current and retired members are welcome!!!! For more information, contact Lt. Justin Tirelli at justintirelli@gmail.com or 571-283-1116.

Urgent Request From IAFF
Updated
On: Oct 18, 2011 (21:39:00)
Help is needed tomorrow, October 19 for a media event. The Vice-President of the United States will be holding a rally at the Russel Building in the Kennedy Caucus Room (SR325). The purpose of this event is to gain support for a portion of the jobs bill concerning public safety. The IAFF is requesting support from the locals in the Washington region to have a presence at the rally. The rally will take place at 2:15; they would like everyone there by 1:30. I will be coordinating the logistics with Tom McEachin of the IAFF. If you would like to participate, call me on my cell. They will be distributing T-Shirts for everyone to wear, and I understand there will be free food and drinks as well. Sorry about the short notice.
Thanks

Line of Duty Death Census
Posted
On: Sep 30, 2011 (20:11:51)
Please see an important message from the Virginia Public Safety Foundation;
Follow the link to access the LODD survey form. http://www.vpsf.org/pub/LODD%20Census%20Form.pdf
All
As you know, VPSF is administering a census of all Virginia public safety agencies in order to compile a complete roster of Line of Duty Deaths in advance of construction of the Commonwealth Public Safety Memorial.
Census packets went out to all 1,350 agencies in early August, with a due-date of October 31, 2011. With one month to go, weve received responses from fewer than 150 agencies.
I need your help. Will you forward the attached LODD Census form to your membership, post it on your website, or otherwise publicize it to your constituency, so that we can ensure full participation in the census and a complete, accurate roster of names engraved on the Memorial?
