Newport Firefighters responding to a working structure fire in the 400 block of Washington. We will do everything to protect our community and firefighters. WLWT FOX19
Be safe guys....thanks for keeping the community safe!!
We are in the building just to the north of the fire location. So very sorry for the severe damage next door. But I am grateful nobody was hurt there or here. Thankfully our building and tenants are all safe. Sending my sincere thanks to our Newport firefighters and those from neighboring communities who responded quickly and well. This could have been much worse and I feel lucky today.
Good work my brothers
Stay safe!

Despite the cuts in daily staffing and the unilateral changes made to our contract, the Newport Firefighters are committed to the safety of our community and our firefighters. Today the firefighters conducted over 2,000 feet of hose testing for just ONE fire engine. We must ensure that our hose is in proper working condition at all times. The fire hose is the firefighters life line to extinguish fires and improve conditions during a fire incident for possible victims, pets, preserve property, and protect other exposures near the fire scene. As always, we will continue to fight for your safety and our safety.
It never ends my Brothers! So much to do barely have enough time to make emergency runs 🚒
Unfortunately, reduced staffing leads to greater property damage if you don’t have the required number of firefighters on scene to initiate an interior attack. Politicians forget that OSHA will cite the city in a heartbeat if safety standards aren’t followed. Stay safe Brothers & Sisters!!
Thank you for keeping us safe.
Like Clayton said. Call ISO and OSHA tell them what the city is doing and let the public know there insurance is going to go up. Don't take any less from the city. Like the fire today, let it burn!! Quit calling in extra man power. Let the department's know what is going on.
Stay safe
God bless you fire people

Where did the magnesium come from, engine block?
Two of our Newport Firefighters and several family members of our firefighters participated in the Tunnel to Towers run today.
The mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. They also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.
What an awesome tribute,!
Proud of Newport Firefighters

Firefighters are called to a scene of an emergency when someone is potentially having the worst day of their life, and we focus on making a direct positive impact to improve the situation no matter what it may be. The Newport Professional Firefighters are dedicated and work relentlessly to keep our citizens, business owners, guests, and the firefighters of our city safe.
Over the last several months the fire department has had fewer firefighters on duty each day. Yesterday, we received very disheartening news from our city elected officials. Mayor Peluso, Vice Mayor Guidugli, Commissioner Peluso, and Commissioner Rechtin voted AGAINST the safety we work so diligently to maintain. Commissioner Fennell was not present during the hearing.
Just two short days ago we reflected in remembrance to “Never Forget” what occurred on September 11th, 2001. These same elected officials that voted against your safety, stood in the same ranks among all of us during the 9/11 Ceremony. The question we ask: Is it the politically right thing to do, to come to these ceremonies? Or do they truly care about the safety of the people and the firefighters?
We ask every resident and business owner of our great beloved city, to contact the city commissioners and city manager and ask them to keep working with the firefighters to find an appropriate solution.
We, the Newport Firefighters, will keep on doing our absolute best and be there when you are in need. We will continue to fight for your safety and our safety. Thank you for your endless support.

Pretty sad!!! Good Luck!
Time to go through the entire city budget. Get professional accounting help. Then you can identify City waste and increase funding for not only the Fire Department, but maybe other departments like Police, and Waste Collection.
So wrong ! Keep fighting
It sucks that they use you as political pawns.
