It has been brought to our attention that many of your fire stations are having issues with their Diesel Exhaust Systems.   Is this the case at your station?

Your executive board is in need of your assistance.

Please email us back by clicking this link with the stations that are having a difficult time in getting the Diesel exhaust systems fixed or replaced (any part of the system).  Let us know what your issue is.  We understand that some exhaust hoses are tied up to get them out of the way because they are broken  The magnets don't work to hold the exhaust system to the equipment.  This is unacceptable if that is happening in your station.

It’s a proven fact that we are more likely get cancer in our line of work.  When the engines start up in some locations the exhaust now blows into the dorm, day rooms or even right where the turnouts are stored.  UNACCEPTABLE

If this is happening in your station we need to know about it NOW.  PLEASE click on the link above so we can get a true accounting of how many systems are inoperable.
