Mandatory OT isn’t toughness. It’s a slow drain on your health, your family, and the job you came to love. Call volume climbs, staffing drops, and we carry the weight. There’s a better way, and other departments are proving it.

This month we had Matthew DeSmyter show up to our Union meeting. Matt went over his upbringing and his vision for the Rock Island County Sheriff's Department. Matt is not only an true Leader, but is an innovator as well! We are excited to announce that Matt has our vote and endorsement! If you stand with the Moline Firefighters you should stand with Matt DeSmyter this coming March!

Next week the MABAS 43 Peer Support Team will be hosting retired Oklahoma City Firefighter Chris Fields who will present his “Out of the chaos” message. He will deliver his message to the MABAS 43 Division to help our first responders better deal with our mental health and embrace hope. Thank you to the MABAS Chiefs for their continued support of our mission. Thank you 1-800 board up for your generosity and also supporting this endeavor. We are honored to host Mr Fields next week and believe our members will benefit greatly from his message.
