Today, during a subcommittee hearing overseeing disaster management, I addressed the manufacturers of fire equipment and trucks. Big manufacturers must answer for why fire departments are waiting too long and paying too much for the trucks they need. Firefighters put…

It was an honor to join @IAFFofficial to launch the Fire and EMS Apprenticeship Program. As the first-ever apprenticeship program for firefighters and paramedics, this program ensures our responders have the enhanced skills needed to build a future where everyone remains safe.
The work continues. Good news from NIOSH today on programs critical to the @IAFFofficial and fire fighter health and safety. Thank you, @SecKennedy.
