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.

SHARE THE LOVE The firefighters of Local 45 place a great importance on our community involvement. Our mission is to develop and implement programs to empower and improve the quality of life for families and individuals within our communities and to advance the education of our youth. Joseph Subaru presented Brighton Center and Newport Professional Firefighters Local 45 IAFF with a check from the proceeds of their Share the Love Campaign. The Newport Professional Firefighters Local 45 IAFF utilizes the funds for our Community Outreach Program. These programs included but are not limited to: Annual Scholarships - Local 45 awards two $1,000 scholarships/grant-in-aid to one graduating senior from Newport High School and to one graduating senior from Newport Central Catholic High School annually to assist with their post-secondary education. Power Pack Program – Local 45 in partnership with Kroger Marketplace (Newport) and the local community members help ensure our children have the fuel and energy to have a successful school year. “Power Packs” provide children in the school with food that can be easily prepared to eat for the weekends, holidays, and now the summer break. These children may otherwise go hungry if they did not receive these packs to take home. Veterans Honor Flight Sponsorship – honoring a local Veteran for their sacrifices and achievements by flying them through Honor Flight Tri-State to Washington D.C. to see their memorial with a guardian of their choice. Operation Warm – Operation Warm provides warmth, confidence, and hope to children in need in our community through the gift of brand-new coats. These coats get distributed to the children in our local schools in December. Beyond the Call – Local 45’s most famous and longest running program within our Community Outreach. This program focuses on providing a special Christmas experience for some of our less fortunate local families. On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus, while riding on a fire truck delivers food and gifts to these families. Families are selected with help of the Newport Schools System-Family Resource Center. Brighton Center utilizes the funds for the Emergency Assistance Program which provides for the food, financial, and clothing needs of the families we serve that are experiencing a crisis. Thank you, Joseph Subaru of Florence and Brighton Center, for this amazing partnership and friendship. Local 45 is very grateful and excited to be afforded this opportunity to provide more support and assistance to our local community members!
