LETTER: Local 312 could not be more proud of our members, bravery they showed in explosion
Yesterday, our firefighters responded downtown to one of the most chaotic and dangerous scenes imaginable. Within 4 minutes of the initial dispatch, arriving firefighters were performing rescues, saving lives, and rendering aid to those in need.
Local 312 could not be more proud of our members and the bravery they showed in those times of despair.
Our firefighters value and love this city; the work that was done at the Realty Building should serve as a reminder of the constant heroism, professionalism and strength performed by our firefighters in the face of adversity on a daily basis.
Our hearts and prayers are with all those affected, especially those who lost their loved one. Local 312 would also like to thank those area first responders who rushed to the scene to assist us in this tragedy.
To all people of this great city, your Youngstown Firefighters stand ready to serve, like always, and appreciate your support. The calls, texts, and embraces have proven what the word community really means.
Thank you,
Youngstown Professional Firefighters Local 312
President Jon Racco
