On this day in 1936, 12 Stevens Point Fire Fighters voted to take a stand and voted to affiliate with the International Association of Fire Fighters, becoming Local 484.
As we celebrate our 87 years as a Union with the IAFF, we are proud of how far we’ve come and continue to #UniteFightOrganize, and reflect on what our forefathers endured during their careers, with poor working conditions, little to no pay & health insurance or retirement, and working long hours with only a few hours off during the week.
We’ve come along ways and grateful for the legacy our Brothers established, as we continue to push ahead building lasting relationships within our communities for future generations.
