It’s time for The Boeing Company to negotiate a fair contract with Boeing Firefighters IAFF Local I-66. Boeing is apparently willing to pay scab workers far more than they pay their current union firefighters. It is disheartening to see The Boeing Company use such tactics.
Help our brothers and sisters at IAFF Local I-66 by sharing this message, and more importantly, DO NOT BE A SCAB!**SCAB FIREFIGHTING JOB POSTING**
While the Boeing Firefighters IAFF Local I-66 are working tirelessly in mediation to reach a fair contract agreement, the Boeing Corporation is working tirelessly to fill as many of their 130 Union Firefighting positions with SCAB WORKERS as they possibly can. So much for bargaining in good faith! Understand that if you are a volunteer firefighter in Washington, taking these positions steps on the backs of your International Association of Fire Fighters union brothers and sisters, takes food out of their mouths, and hampers their efforts of bargaining a fair contract. These SCAB workers will fill union positions in Washington including the plant in Renton. This is not the way to get a firefighting job in Washington.
Look at what Boeing is willing to pay SCABS to avoid paying a fair contract:
-Pay SCABS close to $16000/month to fill Union positions, WAY more than their current Union Firefighters make.
-Pay a per diem for food and lodging of $150/day
-Pay overtime wages where they normally don’t
Boeing Firefighters make far 20-30% less each month in comparison to what Boeing is willing to pay their SCABS. That's completely disrespectful and shows that the corporation has the means to pay their employees fairly. They need these firefighters to staff apparatus just to fly planes from the plants. Without them, the planes will just sit on the flight lines. With Renton being the home of Boeing's final assembly plant for their most popular jet, we can't stand by and let this happen without people knowing. Don’t step on the backs of Union Firefighters everywhere to be a SCAB at Boeing for some quick cash. The Union Renton Firefighters won’t stand for it and you shouldn't either!

What is their call volume? Pay can be relative to work load.
Chad Lee wtf?
We are proud to announce that Engine 336 was officially placed into service on February 4th, 2024. This new engine company will primarily serve the North Auburn area. It is currently stationed at Station 31 until the new Station 36 construction is complete. Engine 336 will relieve Station 31 of a significant portion of their call volume, which was over 6,000 calls in 2023, and it will provide better service to our citizens in North Auburn.
Thank you to our citizens for the continued support and we look forward to better serving our community!

Where is 36 going to be located?
Much needed. That area was busy 10 years ago and has only continued to be developed. Bravo VRFA!
Your Valley Professional Fire Fighters responded to an aircraft crash in North Auburn this morning. The pilot reportedly had minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Auburn Way N is currently closed between 37th and 41st due to this incident.

Your Valley Professional Firefighters Fighters on Tender 334 are currently operating on a residential fire in Maple Valley in Puget Sound RFA’s response area with Puget Sound Firefighters Local 1747 Renton Firefighters IAFF 864 and King County Paramedics Local 2595
Fires in areas without hydrants can be challenging and water tenders are used to get large volumes of water to the scene of the fire. Water tenders are used for wildland fires and our tender is also an important resource in south King County for incidents such as this.
