Today, CFD class 119 began their journey to becoming a fire fighter for the oldest fully paid professional fire department in the United States, the Cincinnati Fire Department. During the next 6 months these 46 women and men will be trained by the best so that they can always perform at their best when the situation calls. Good luck to the recruits of class 119, we can’t wait to have you out on the companies. Stay safe.

Unimaginable.

Our deepest condolences to the members of Baltimore City Fire Fighters Local 734, Baltimore Fire Officers Local 964, the Baltimore City Fire Department, and to the family, friends, and loved ones of Lt. Butrim, FF Sadler, and FF Lacayo. These three brave fire fighters made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting a 2-Alarm fire today. Also keep FF McMaster in your thoughts as he still fights to overcome injuries he sustained.

Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 wishes our hometown team, the UC Bearcats, good luck; beat Alabama! #universityofcincinnati #universityofcincinnatibearcats

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from YOUR Cincinnati Fire Fighters. A special thanks and Merry Christmas to the nearly 200 Cincinnati Fire Fighters/Paramedics/EMTs that are on duty today, protecting our community. Stay safe.

Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 sends our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and members of Sterling(IL) IAFF Local 2301 on the LODD of Local 2301 President/Fire Lieutenant Garrett Ramos. Early reports are that Pres. Ramos died from injuries sustained during a floor collapse while fighting a working fire. Please keep Local 2301 and the Ramos family in your thoughts. Stay safe.

A special Happy Thanksgiving to those working today to protect and provide for our community. Stay safe.

A friendly reminder from YOUR Cincinnati Fire Fighters- change your clock, test your smoke alarms (and change the battery). Stay safe!

Today the recruits of CFD Recruit Class 118 completed their final day of live fire training before they graduate next Friday. We look forward to having our newest members out on the companies serving the fine citizens and visitors of our great City. This training is only the beginning and serves as the foundation for the greatest job in the world. Congrats, Class 118!

Picture and quick summary from a fire this morning in CFD District 2 on Queen City Avenue. Summary from Chief Washington, photo credit to Chief Sanders.

“First-due companies: Engines 35, 24, 21 and 12, Trucks 35, 24 and 17, Squad Company 14, ALS 35, M-24 and 35, District 2 and 3. Structure Fire 2824 Queen City. At approximately 09:08 hours the Emergency Communications Center received a call reporting a building on fire at the above address.

Within 4 minutes of dispatch fire companies were on the scene reporting a working fire with “hoarder like” conditions and a person trapped on the upper floor. While the engine company personnel were in the process of stretching hose to suppress the fire, truck company members were affecting an exterior rescue of the civilian trapped via a ground ladder. Today’s rescue personifies what it means and is to be a Cincinnati Firefighter. Thank you!”

A few months back, a group of local fire fighters were fortunate enough to pick a private barrel of Woodford; the bottles are in! They are larger 1 Liter bottles and engraved with The Thin Red Line, and a portion of the sales will go to support the Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 Burn & Injured fund. Bottles hit the shelves this morning at One Stop Liquors and would make a great gift while supporting a good cause. Donations to the fund are also appreciated.

About the Fund:

The Local 48 Burn and Injured fund is a long-standing fund that is used to help support the family members of Local 48 when that member is injured. The fund is used to make sure the family's needs are met while they are caring for their injured family member. These needs can range from making sure there are meals for the family, assisting in getting out of town family members to the bedside of our injured brother or sister, and helping the family get back to normal.

Our deepest condolences to the families of the fallen.

Tonight we had the honor of swearing in our new members to Local 48. Local 48 brother and IAFF 8th District Vice President Mark Sanders gave the oath to the 40 men and women of CFD Class 118. We welcome our new brothers and sisters and wish them well in the upcoming months as they train to serve in the first fully paid professional fire department in the United States. Stay safe and cheers to a long and healthy career!

It’s so much more than a 3-day weekend. Land of the free because of the brave.

We honor and remember the women and men that made the ultimate sacrifice for our great Nation.

The women and men of Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 send our deepest sympathies and condolences to the members of New Haven Local 852, the New Haven FD, and family and friends of FF Ricardo Torres Jr.

Hard to believe it’s been 6 years; never forget our brother, Daryl Gordon. LODD 3/26/2015

Our brother, Oscar Armstrong III. LODD 3/21/2003. Never forget.

NOAA Climate.Gov has issued a Flood Warning for the Ohio River in Cincinnati. 6” of water (sometimes less based on speed) can carry away an adult and as little as 12” of water can sweep away a small car. Be smart, heed the warnings and signs posted by the CPD.

On today’s date, 103 years ago, City Firemen’s Union No. 48 was organized as one of the charter locals of the newly created International Association of Fire Fighters. Happy Anniversary to the men and women of Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 and thank you to all of our brothers and sisters that paved the way for us and future generations!

(Also, happy anniversary to Hamilton Fire Fighters Local 20, Covington Fire Fighters Local 38, and Newport Fire Fighters Local 45)

The announcement many have been waiting for...

While you’re digging out from this weeks snowfall we want to remind you to be mindful of burying fire hydrants; please help us so we can help you!

Please be safe out there...

As we continue to mourn the unexpected passing of our brother, FAO Mike Thompson, we wanted to share with you a message from the Fire Chief of the Cincinnati Fire Department-

"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Fire Apparatus Operator Michael Thompson. FAO Thompson joined the Cincinnati Fire Department on February 23, 1997. He promoted to the rank of Fire Apparatus Operator in March of 2011.

During his time with the City, Mike distinguished himself as a man of great faith and character. He was an incredible firefighter who sought additional training opportunities and responsibilities, including becoming certified as an Ohio Paramedic, in the name of public service and a deep love for the communities he served. He touched the lives of many residents of Corryville, Oakley, College Hill, and Pleasant Ridge over the course of his exemplary career. He routinely went above and beyond the call of duty and earned multiple commendations for his actions in the field.

Mike was a beloved member of Cincinnati Fire Department for nearly 24 years. He was also a loving husband and a proud father. Please join me in keeping the Thompson family and the entire Cincinnati Fire Department in your thoughts during this difficult time."

Roy E. Winston, Fire Chief
Cincinnati Fire Department

A few months back, a group of Cincinnati Fire Fighters were fortunate enough to pick a private barrel of 1792 Full Proof. The barrel yielded 132 bottles. The bottles are in and engraved with The Thin Red Line, and a portion of the sales will go to support the Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 Burn & Injured fund and The Cincinnati Fire Museum. The bottles have hit the shelves this morning at One Stop Liquors located at 10 Donnermeyer Dr, Bellevue, KY 41073. This would make a great Christmas gift while supporting a good cause. Limit 1 per person.

Happy Veterans Day to all that fought and continue to fight for our great Nation. Stay safe.

YOUR Cincinnati Fire Fighters wish you a safe and happy Labor Day!

Congratulations to Cincinnati’s own FC Cincinnati for moving on to the Knockout Stage. #fccincinnati #futbol
