The IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery is a one-of-a-kind addiction treatment facility specializing in PTSD for IAFF members – and IAFF members only – who are struggling with addiction, PTSD other related behavioral health challenges to receive the help they need in taking the first steps toward recovery. It is a safe haven for members to talk with other members who have faced or overcome similar challenges.
Local 67 members showed up Thursday at city hall because our voices need to be heard. The conditions highlighted in this report — failing equipment, unsafe stations, and years of temporary fixes — didn’t happen overnight, and they won’t be solved overnight either.
Thursdays hearing was the beginning of a long process, not the end of one. Our presence made it clear: the fight isn’t over, and we’re not backing down.
Columbus deserves a fire department with safe stations, reliable equipment, and staffing that matches the city’s growth as our members continue to step up every single day.

Fifteen years ago, IAFF members across Ohio faced one of the biggest battles in our history.
Thanks to the collective efforts of firefighters, teachers, citizens, elected officials, and countless others Senate Bill 5 / Issue 2 was ultimately voted down—protecting collective bargaining rights for workers across our state.
For those who weren’t around during that time, we encourage you to take a few minutes to watch this documentary. It highlights the hard work, dedication, and unity that paved the way for the rights and protections we have today.

It’s a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we stand together.

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
