On April 26th, your Newport Firefighters responded to a 1-year-old choking. The object was not able to be dislodged by our firefighters and they immediately took the child to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. While transporting, the child stopped breathing and firefighters had to breathe for her. Upon arrival at the hospital, the child was transferred to Children's staff. After 8 days in the hospital, the child was discharged and is back to her normal self.

Today while socially distancing, the family came in to thank the firefighters that helped the child. The thanks are appreciated but seeing this little girl healthy is what is important.

Your Newport Firefighters are on the frontlines, protecting and serving our community. Posted with permission of the family.

Come out to Kroger and assist Local 45 in support of Newport Intermediate School (95 W. 9th Street, Newport, Kentucky) Power Pack Program. We are asking customers to purchase one food item from the list to donate to a child in need.

“Power Packs” provide children in the school with food that can be easily prepared to eat for the weekend and holidays. These children may otherwise go hungry until they return to school if they did not receive these packs to take home.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at Kroger! Thank you!! 🍽🚒🚑

This is why "POWER PACKS" are so important!

Stay safe!

This morning at 4:30am, Newport Firefighters along with Bellevue-Dayton Firefighters and Covington Firefighters were dispatched for a possible fire in a multi-family building in South Newport. The first fire engine was on scene in less than 60 seconds and was able to confirm all residents were safely out of the building and keep the damage to a minimum. The situation could have been much worse with additional cuts to the fire department budget. Local 45 will continue to advocate for the safety of the citizens and firefighters.
