Springfield MA Firefighters Local 648

IAFF Local 648 is devastated to hear of the passing of one of our brothers, Robert "BK" Kilduff, Jr. from Boston Local 718 who tragically lost his life while battling a 3-Alarm structure fire last night in Dorchester. Our thoughts and prayers are with brother Kilduff, with his family and friends, and all the brothers and sisters from Local 718. Rest easy brother!

This past weekend, members of IAFF Local 648 proudly participated in the annual Fight For Air Climb in Hartford, joining firefighters and first responders from across the region to support the American Lung Association. The event challenges participants to climb 34 flights of stairs at Hartford 21, raising funds and awareness for the 34 million Americans living with lung disease.
Our members stepped up—literally and figuratively—demonstrating the strength, dedication, and solidarity that define the fire service. Great work guys!

Great work by Local 5042. With extremely limited resources, this could have ended in a very different outcome. Keep up the good work!
