“No member ever stands alone- now or ever.”
We are mourning the heartbreaking loss of two of our own: Fire Fighter/Paramedic Daria Deibele and Fire Fighter/Paramedic Tom Diener. These dedicated professionals served their communities with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of others. Their service reflected the very best of our profession, and their loss is felt deeply across the fire service, by their families, coworkers, and the public they so selflessly protected. We extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones and stand with their departments during this incredibly difficult time.
PFFW cares deeply for our members and recognizes that loss within our fire service family can take a profound toll. Any member needing support is encouraged to utilize the PFFW Peer Support Team, available at any time, day or night. Additionally, your local president and PFFW liaison are always available to assist and connect you with resources. No member ever stands alone—now or ever.
