Monroe County Fire Rescue crews from stations 13,

Monroe County Fire Rescue crews from stations 13, 11, 10 & 9 performed a rapid rescue after a boat collided with a bridge. Our firefighters had to access the closed down section of the South Pine channel bridge and then utilize roof ladders to board the sinking vessel and rescue the victims.

The quick thinking and resourcefulness of our professional firefighters resulted in the rescue of all involved and the transfer of critical patients to trauma facilities in the mainland via Traumastar.

Professional firefighters yield professional results.

After over 29 years of dedicated service to the citizens and visitors of Monroe County. Captain Sebben has retired, finishing his prominent career where it all began at Station 13 in Big Pine Key.

Various crews showed up to show their appreciation for Captain Sebben’s exceptional career which included various roles within the department, spending time in the training division, where he shared his knowledge and mentored future Monroe County firefighters. He was in Monroe County’s first flight medic program, paving the way to become part of the first group of paid flight paramedics on Trauma Star. Additionally, he was one of Monroe County’s first Lieutenants.

While many have gone over the years Captain Sebben is the last founding union member to retire that is on our original Local3909 charter from 1998. Unionizing our department and setting imperative foundation for the betterment of our future.

We are grateful for his unwavering dedication and service. Best wishes for your retirement, Brother Sebben!

This National Nurses Week, let’s celebrate and honor the dedicated flight nurses of @monroecountyfirerescue who serve both residents and visitors aboard the nation’s busiest air ambulance.

With various professional backgrounds and specialties, our skilled nurses are essential to Monroe County’s commitment to delivering the highest level of medical care in Monroe County. We salute the professionalism and expertise of our flight nurses. Professionals providing professional services.

IAFF Local 3909, continuously advocating for what matters most on our helicopters—the people.

Today we celebrate Workers Memorial Day - Remember

Today we celebrate Workers Memorial Day - Remembering those who have lost their lives or been injured on the job, and continuing the fight for safe working conditions for all.

More than 50 years ago on April 28, Workers Memorial Day, the Occupational Safety and Health Act went into effect, promising every worker the right to a safe job — a fundamental right.

The law was won because of the tireless efforts of the labor movement, which organized for safer working conditions and demanded action from the government to protect working people. Since then, unions and allies have fought hard to make that promise a reality—winning protections under the law that have made jobs safer and saved lives. But our work is not done.
Each day, more than 340 workers are killed and more than 6,000 suffer injury and illness because of dangerous working conditions.
