SPFFA PAC - Now a Reality!

Updated On: Feb 10, 2009 (14:44:00)
The SPFFA PAC is now registered with the Texas Ethics Commission. This means the SPFFA can now become politically and financially active in local elections. The SPFFA PAC will support Fire Department friendly candidates in City and/or County elections. Westley Krueger has volunteered to be the Secretary/Treasurer. This position is a huge responsibility and Wes is to be commended for stepping up and taking on this job. The PAC will need 2 or 4 additional members to be fully functional. This is a huge step in the continuing maturity of the SPFFA. Soon members will be able make voluntary donations to support the PAC which will help to make it a strong political organization.

More EMS Upgrades

Posted On: Feb 19, 2008 (17:09:26)
Since our initial roll out of the new SMOG's for Seguin Fire/EMS we have done an outstanding job in providing a higher level of service for the citizens of our service area. The committee decided that after 6 months they would look at the SMOG's and see if any thing needed to be changed such as wording, adding or deleting medications etc. After a careful review several SMOG's have been revised and or updated. The committee was pleased to announce the addition of Heparin for Acute Coronary Syndromes, CPAP, and the return of Labetelol. Chief Mycue has said that our new 12 lead machines should be here by the end of Febuary, with training in March and the first of April. We should see these changes in place with the new 12 leads, EtCo2 etc by April 15-May 1 time frame.

California Fire Fighter Finalist For American Inventor

Posted On: Jul 26, 2007 (13:12:56)
Gregg Chavez, a firefighter from Camarillo, California, describes his Guardian Angel invention as, "A small, pressurized tank of water, disguised as a Christmas package, that is placed under the Christmas tree and attached to a small hose leading to the top of the tree where a fusible link is disguised as an angel. The heat from a fire pops the link and water suppresses the fire. There is also an alarm that works without a battery&intended to suppress (not fully extinguish) a Christmas tree fire and sound an alarm to get people out of the house alive." Gregg took his 50,000 and built the protype for his invention. Last night, he was selected as one of the final three. Hopefully with your votes he will win. Good Job Gregg

IAFF Releases Rudy Video

Updated On: Jul 21, 2007 (15:59:00)
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is running for the Republican nomination for president of the United States on the premise that he is a hero of 9/11, and the one to protect our country against a future terrorist attack. The truth is, Rudy Giuliani failed to properly prepare the Fire Department of New York prior to September 11, 2001, and he has subsequently exploited 9/11 to make tens of millions of dollars and build a foundation for his presidential campaign. So the IAFF has produced a video to tell the true story of Giuliani's leadership.

The documentary, “Rudy Giuliani: Urban Legend,” features active and retired fire fighters, fire officers and families of the fallen speaking out about the "Real Rudy," his failed leadership and his disrespect for the recovery of those we lost.

This video is part of the IAFF’s ongoing efforts to provide members with the information they need to make an informed decision in the campaign for president of the United States. It clearly explains where this union stands on Giuliani and why the image of Rudy Giuliani as "America's Mayor" is an absolute myth.
