IAFF Local 22 was hit with devastating news of the loss of Paramedic Elvin Rodriguez to CANCER. He was an active member last stationed at the Airport at Medic Unit 30. He also worked in Center City, Kensington, and the Northeast. Elvin was one of those people that you only come across once in a lifetime. If you were his friend, he made you feel like he was your brother. The cliché of someone giving you their shirt off their back to describe him is not good enough. Elvin was the type of person who would give you everything, every ounce of his love if you were his family or his friend, and every ounce of his skills and compassion if you were his patient. If you or a loved one was unfortunate to get hurt or sick, Elvin would be the one you would want showing up for you. May God bless him and his family as he will be missed but never forgotten.

IAFF Local 22 lost another legend recently to CANCER. His name is Ed Hengy, who was retired, but spent 40 years serving the city in the Fire Department. Ed spent most of his career serving at Engine 50 at Park and Cambria Streets, “The North Philly Cowboys”.

Ed was one of the most outstanding-” Tip man” (nozzle operator) the Philly Fire Department has ever seen. As one old chief described Ed, he was like a bull moving forward; he would disappear into the smoke, find the fire, and it would be out before you knew it. There were plenty of lieutenants and captains through the years who were put at ease knowing Ed was riding on the backstep of the apparatus they were in charge of. Ed was also one of the humblest people you would ever meet; a true professional that will be sadly missed. God bless him and his family.

As you celebrate with family and friends, remember that Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days for cooking fires. A few simple tips can keep your kitchen — and your loved ones — safe:

🔥 Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop.

🔥 Keep flammable items like towels, potholders, and packaging away from heat.

🔥 Keep kids and pets at least 3 feet from the stove, fryer, hot food, or liquids that can cause burns.

🔥 Use timers so nothing gets forgotten in the oven.

🔥 If a grease fire starts, smother it with a lid — NEVER USE WATER!!! The best method is to turn off the heat and smother the flames with a metal lid or baking sheet; baking soda controls oil fires; if you use baking soda, add it generously and directly on top of the fire.

🔥 Turkey Frying 411- Keep 10 feet from your home and use a limited amount of oil in the pot that won’t overflow and ignite a fire.

🔥 Check your smoke alarms to make sure all are working in the event of an emergency.

🔥 If a fire breaks out, DO NOT HESITATE to call 911!

Enjoy your holiday, enjoy your families — and please DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. Your safety is our priority today and every day.

Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 🍁 🤍

CONTRACT-ARBITRATION CITY FINANCIAL UPDATE
 
Bad News: the city’s Office of the Director of Finance is reporting that there are three remaining labor arbitrations contracts that must be paid for, which include Local 22. But the City’s labor reserve is completely depleted and cannot fund the costs of the outstanding arbitrations.​ Who is doing the accounting for their negotiating team? Is this a SICK JOKE?
 
Good News: the Parker Administration announced recently that Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) ended with a $1.187 billion fund balance, the largest in the City’s history. This strong fund balance is highlighted in the City’s FY25 Annual Financial Report. Kudos to Mayor Parker and Mr. Rob Dubow, the Director of Finance. We are feeling positive that our brave, dedicated members will be properly compensated just like our other brother and sister first responders protecting our great city.

Our hearts are broken today. IAFF Local 22 is devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of one of our own members. We mourn the passing of our brother, whose dedication, courage, and service to the people of Philadelphia will never be forgotten. We ask everyone to keep their family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, brother.

🔥 Philadelphia Firefighters & Paramedics Union Local 22 Endorses Pat Dugan for District Attorney 🔥

The men and women of Philadelphia Firefighters & Paramedics Union Local 22 are proud to stand with Judge Pat Dugan in his campaign for District Attorney of Philadelphia.

Our members risk their lives every day to protect this city — and we need a District Attorney who will do the same: protect our families, uphold the law, and fight for safer streets. Judge Dugan has a lifetime of service to Philadelphia, from the courtroom to the battlefield, and he understands what it means to serve with honor and integrity.

Local 22 proudly endorses Pat Dugan because he has the courage to stand up for victims, hold criminals accountable, and restore trust in our justice system. Together, we can restore the safety in Philadelphia we lost to Larry Krasner’s “progressive” agenda.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
