Oklahoma Tornado Disaster Relief

How can we help?

To make a $10 donation, text DISASTER to 50555*

Yesterday we watched on the news the loss of life and property, those precious things we are sworn to protect, destroyed in Oklahoma. The sad news is at least 24 people, including nine children, were killed, according to the Oklahoma state medical examiner's office. The scene of such devistation block after block of flattened homes and businesses, the gutted remains of a hospital and hits on two elementary schools -- left even seasoned veterans of Oklahoma's infamous tornadoes reeling. The devastation was so complete, the mayor of Moore, Oklahoma said city officials were racing to print new street signs to help guide rescuers and residents through a suddenly twisted and unfamiliar landscape.

As members of 1014 we see disaster often here in California. We are called to assist when these disasters hit both here at home and anywhere in the world. Our technical expertise has not been called upon to assist in Moore, Oklahoma but we can help.

Read below from the IAFF and consider helping if you can.

More than 500 IAFF members are located in the path of the massive tornados that devastated Moore, Oklahoma and a number of other Oklahoma cities, as well as several communities in Kansas.

The IAFF remains in communication with IAFF District Vice Presidents and state and affiliate leaders whose members are affected by these storms. Together, we have begun damage assessments, and the need for relief to IAFF members affected by the storm is substantial.

“The IAFF already has resources on the ground to assist members in immediate need,” says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. “The most important thing our members can do right now.......(CLICK HERE TO READ MORE)

TRADITION
MDA FILL THE BOOT!
Los Angeles County Fire Fighters IAFF Local 1014

JUNE 6TH (B Shift), 7TH (C Shift), and 8TH (A Shift)
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE

As we get closer to our annual kick off for the Fill The Boot Campaign we wanted to give you some more details. Below you will find a few videos as well as who from your 1014 Executive Board is responsible for which Battalion as your liaison for any questions or issues you may have that your Battalion Coordinators or MDA Representative cannot answer. We will also soon be posting the MDA Battalion Coordinators.

In that past 1014 members have been able to collect some very impressive amounts of money for MDA. We have been close nationwide to raising the most amount. We are asking every member this year to participate for just a short amount of time. If every one of us put in just a small amount of time we can accomplish so much. This is the year 1014 members could raise over $400,000. We have shown, on many occasions and many fronts, what we can do together, lets do that the 6th, 7th and 8th of June to help those that are less fortunate than all of us. let give a little time to help those that the MDA helps. Lets all work together again to show what we as members of the Los Angeles County Firefighters Local 1014 can do! 

Any questions please call your Battalion Coordinator or Director for your Battalion.

Thank you.

Your 1014 Executive Board

EMS Agency hearing - URGENT HELP NEEDED

Updated On: May 14, 2013 (13:34:00)

Calling All Local 1014 Members

Urgent members need to fill EMS Commission meeting to oppose one plus one staffing policy, once again.

Your Local 1014 Executive Board is once again calling on all our members to show support and solidarity for our brothers at Long Beach Firefighters, Local 372 in their effort to halt a proposed pilot program by their Fire Chief, City Manager, and L.A. County DHS that would call for “one and one” staffing.  This policy, Policy 407, is a proposed pilot study, seeking to reduce Long Beach Fire Department’s ALS unit staffing from its current staffing of two ALS personnel to one ALS Paramedic and one BLS EMT, and allow two paramedics from separate responding apparatus to make up the “Two Paramedic” model.

We know firsthand that this will not work and will delay Team Paramedic Care and ALS procedures that could cost lives and put our own members at risk and liability.  An injury to one is an injury to all and this directly affects the Long Beach Firefighters and Paramedics, but also affects LA County and LA City Firefighters and Paramedics in our auto and mutual aid agreements and could be the start of a trend we need to stop now.   

Not only does this pilot program put the public at immediate risk, it should be a warning to all local and state fire agencies that this issue could be coming to your city, county or state agency in the very near future. 

Please join your Local 1014 Executive Board and other Fire Union Members and Nurses in supporting Long Beach Firefighters, Local 372 in their effort to stop this pilot program, and show Los Angeles County Department of Health Services that when you jeopardize public safety, firefighters will rise up in force and solidarity and put a stop to it.

Please join us at:

DATE: Wednesday May 15th
TIME: 1:00 PM
WHERE: EMS Agency
EMS Commission Hearing Room (first floor)
10100 Pioneer Blvd.
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670

Please plan on being early, and please plan on wearing your work uniform or Blue Union T-Shirt.

Questions call either Dave Morse (626) 672-5219 or Email or Pat Dolan (951) 733-9871 or Email

MDA 2013 Fill the Boot coming soon

Updated On: May 03, 2013 (20:51:00)

TRADITION
MDA FILL THE BOOT!
Los Angeles County Fire Fighters IAFF Local 1014

Supporting MDA for Nearly 60 years

JUNE 6TH (B Shift), 7TH (C Shift), and 8TH (A Shift)
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE

Firefighters have been "filling the boot" for nearly 60 years now to help The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in their campaign to fight Muscle Disease.  A Firefighter and Paramedic tradition started in 1954 by a Boston Firefighter to raise funds for a local family who had a child with MDA, and we’ve never looked back.

We just came off a very successful Board of Supervisors and Fire Department campaign to help with the March of Dimes drive to help Babies and congratulations to all who helped. 

MDA, Fire Cancer Support Network, March of Dimes, Spark of Love Toy Drive…all “Traditions of Excellence” and service to our communities.  Let’s get ready to clear our drill schedules and clear our mornings from 9am to 1pm on June 6th, 7th and 8th to Fill our Boots and help those in need.  Don’t be the station or the Battalion to post zero or not participate this year.  We have set a goal of $400,000 dollars, a goal we fell $7,000 short of in previous years.  We can do it if we all help and do what we do together, both Off Duty and On Duty as a supplement to help.

Watch for Battalion Coordinators and Executive Board Members along with MDA Representatives to begin Station Visits very soon to coordinate this years’ efforts.  Inspire each other to make time, step up and serve others yet once again…a tradition we know very well.  Will your battalion be the one this year to bring in the largest donations from the citizens of Los Angeles County?

Thank you  advance and watch for more updates on Fill the Boot 2013!

From previous years

For those that wonder why we do what we do for the MDA.....

Annual March of Dimes Campaign

Updated On: Apr 25, 2013 (20:31:00)

“As the Department and the County of Los Angeles supports and assists Los Angeles County Fire Fighters each year with our annual MDA Fill the Boot Drive to raise funds to combat ALS Disease, a more than 60 year tradition of excellence with the I.A.F.F., so too do we support the annual March of Dimes Campaign.”

This year the Board of Supervisors, our Direct Fire Board Members, have proclaimed Saturday April 27th 2013 as Don’t Stop Believin Walk for Healthy babies Day throughout LA County. Please take time to come out and walk with TEAM : LA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT or consider donating at http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/t2052348 and help with this very worthy cause and do something good for others.

This will be a great warm up for our members to get ready to Fill the Boot for MDA, a drive that is around the corner.

We appreciate the partnership with the Department and the County of Los Angeles for these types of events and public service missions and ask or members to rise up and help where you can…it all shows to the citizens we serve, and they support us.

Thanks in advance and hope to see you there on Saturday,

Your Executive Board of Local 1014
