Columbus Firefighters Local 67 stands proud today as 23 of our brothers and sisters recently took the next step in their careers, earning their paramedic certification. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to this city deserve every bit of recognition. Congratulations — you’ve earned it.
At the same time, this article reinforces what Local 67 has said for years: call volume keeps rising, but staffing hasn’t kept pace. Brownouts, heavier workloads, and slower response coverage aren’t surprises — they’re the predictable result of a city growing faster than its fire department.
To our newly certified paramedics, congratulations again as our members continue to step up. To our community, we’ll keep fighting for the resources you deserve. ... See MoreSee Less

On May 4th, we participated in a press conference to address ongoing concerns with our fleet. While the addition of a single engine represents progress, it does not resolve the broader issue. Our fleet is aging and continues to deteriorate daily, requiring a more comprehensive solution.
During this press conference, we referenced an incident 66 days ago in which our members were required to operate out of a vehicle not designed or equipped for their assigned duties. Unfortunately, this situation occurred again on May 4th when Ladder 29 was taken out of service due to mechanical issues and replaced with a vehicle lacking comparable capabilities.
Our fleet not only requires replacement on an appropriate and sustainable timeline, but it must also be maintained at a fully operational level to ensure our members can safely and effectively perform their duties to the citizens of Columbus. ... See MoreSee Less

It is not about a single Engine, getting the tools we need to do a dangerous job means investing in new fire trucks and fully staffing some of the busiest engine and ladder companies in the country.
