Iowa City Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 610

Thank you to #IowaCity area Rep's Representative Bobby Kaufmann and Iowa State Representative Mary Mascher for your leadership in your respective caucus' and on the State Government committee. Continually fighting for #YourIowaCityFFs and the safety of the community we all serve!

Today begins National Public Safety Telecommunicators week. #YourIPFF want to recognize the men and women all across #Iowa who provide the vital link between those calling 911 and us as first responders. The work they provide us is critical to our mission. Thank you for all you do!!

Today, #YourIowaCityFFs had an opportunity to again say thank you to the workers of Mercy Hospital Iowa City! In mid-January they opened the doors of the COVID vaccine clinic to firefighters & EMT's of #IowaCity & Johnson County, helping protect those that serve on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic. "It is one thing to stand up and say what is right; it is another to follow through on those words with action..." We hope you enjoy the pizza and continue to stay safe whil...e working away to vaccinate through this pandemic! Iowa Professional Fire Fighters IAFF 2nd District

At 10:43 a.m. on Thursday, March 25, A-Shift of #YourIowaCityFFs responded to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics (UIHC) in #IowaCity for a report of a person who had fallen down a maintenance hatch and into the tunnel system below. ICFD units arrived on scene four minutes later and located the patient 30 feet below ground. The person had fallen approximately 20 feet from a ladder accessing the maintenance tunnels. A Johnson County Ambulance paramedic and ICFD rescuers... treated and secured the patient in the tunnel, while an ICFD rescue team established an overhead system to remove the patient from below-ground. The patient was safely removed 43 minutes after ICFD’s arrival. The rescue operation was performed in conjunction with Johnson County Ambulance Service, and was supported by UIHC staff, the Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center, and the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety. #IPFFatWork Iowa Professional Fire Fighters IAFF 2nd District
