**Letter from President
Brothers and Sisters,
After ten years of serving on the board and as President of MBFFA Local 121, the time has come for a transition in leadership. These past ten years have brought significant change—both within our department and within our Association. Together, we overcame challenges, navigated growth, and strengthened the foundation of this organization.
I step aside with pride, not stepping away. I leave knowing that we are larger, stronger, and more unified than at any point in our Association’s history. That is a testament to the
dedication, resilience, and brotherhood of this membership.
I am confident that new, younger, progressive, and dedicated leadership is exactly what is
needed to ensure continued success. It is with that confidence that I fully support and welcome our incoming President, Tommy Dewitt. I look forward to watching this organization continue to grow, adapt, and succeed under his leadership.
Reflecting on this journey, I am grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to serve alongside a strong board and group of members. I will always remain committed to this Association and this department. To say I am excited to see what the future holds is an understatement.
I leave you with this verse from Proverbs 16:9 (NIV):
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
In solidarity,
Garin Flanders
President (Outgoing) ... See MoreSee Less

Local 121 let's show some love!LINK www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/firefighter-raffle
On the night of December 4th, DeKalb Engine 25 was responding to an emergency when it was involved in a devastating accident. All three firefighters on board were injured. Probationary Firefighter Eboni Kennedy sustained life-threatening injuries and has already undergone multiple surgeries. She faces a long and difficult road to recovery.
To support Eboni during this time, we are raffling off an 880 Helmet. Done by @1937_leatherworx — fully customizable in color.
This helmet includes:
-Blackout antique brass hardware
-Rag top liner/short ear flaps
-Brass band
-Deep suspension system
-Leather chin strap
-color of your choice
All proceeds will go directly toward Eboni’s medical bills and any additional expenses on her road to recovery. Your support helps lift a fellow firefighter and her family during an unimaginably difficult time. You can also donate any funds directly. ... See MoreSee Less

Data driven information on later start times and the positive impact they have on firefighter health. What's your opinions on this?
www.firerescue1.com/health-wellness/colo-firefighters-to-start-shifts-later-after-study-shows-ear...A concept gaining popularity not only due to its positive impact, but very little logistical changes and virtually no cost increase! A win win!
West Metro Fire Rescue in Colorado will shift its firefighter start time from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. beginning in January after a sleep study found the earlier start was negatively impacting rest and alertness. The study, conducted with Yale researchers, showed firefighters were averaging only about six hours of sleep on duty, often waking before their natural sleep cycles, which increased fatigue and reliance on caffeine. Supported by the union, the department believes the later start time will improve sleep quality, reduce exhaustion, and enhance firefighter health, performance, and overall safety without compromising response capabilities. ...
