The recent remarks made toward Memphis firefighters are unacceptable and reflect a growing trend of local officials publicly undermining their own fire departments. This is not accountability — it is failed leadership.

Firefighters across Tennessee serve with professionalism, sacrifice, and dedication every single day. They deserve respect, not public attacks.

Real leaders protect their people. Pretenders tear them down and then justify it as oversight.

The Tennessee Professional Fire Fighters Association stands with Memphis Fire Fighters Association Local 1784 and with every firefighter, EMT, and paramedic in our state. Firefighters are not the problem. Undermining them is.

As Wilson County continues to grow, so does the demand on the firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics who serve its communities every single day. These men and women respond to structure fires, medical emergencies, rescues, and life-threatening crises with professionalism and dedication — but they cannot continue to do more with minimum staffing.

Two-person staffing is unacceptable. It places personnel at significantly higher risk of exposure to life-threatening conditions — physically, mentally, and medically. No responder should be put in that position, and no community should be expected to settle for less than safe, effective emergency response.

It is time for Wilson County Government to take meaningful action to protect both the public and the first responders who answer every call. Proper staffing is not a luxury — it is an operational necessity. Fire engines, ladder companies, and ambulances must be staffed with the personnel required to perform critical tasks safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary delay.

When units respond understaffed, response times increase, crucial assignments are delayed, and risks to both citizens and responders grow. Adequate staffing levels save lives, reduce injuries, and ensure that the people of Wilson County receive the level of protection they deserve from their fire and EMS system.

The Tennessee Professional Fire Fighters Association stands firmly with the firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics of Wilson County Firefighters Association Local 4238. We are calling on county leadership to find a way to invest in safer staffing and provide the resources necessary to keep both the community — and those sworn to protect it — safe.

Our first responders show up for Wilson County every day.
Now Wilson County must show up for them

Last night, Local 3460 was honored to present Al Menah Shrine Temple a check for $5,000 allocated to the transportation division. These men dedicate countless hours to the provision of others, and we were honored to help them continue the mission!

These funds were generated from the 2nd Annual Local 3460 Golf Tournament, so a big thank you to all of our sponsors and teams that made that day so special on many different levels!

We are proud to help protect the dedicated men and women of the fire service in Tennessee!

🎖️ Thank you, Veterans.
Your strength and devotion continue to inspire the fire service and all who call Tennessee home. 🇺🇸
