On Duty Firefighters
Today marks a historic day of arrogance within the leadership of California Professional Firefighters. Against the wishes of a majority of its membership and not following in line with International Association of Fire Fighters, to not endorse in the Presidential election, President Brian Rice and each District Vice President made it their personal mission to put themselves and personal relationships ahead of those of the membership. To our members, we cannot stress enough that your Local 1301 Board supports the IAFF decision on their non-endorsement in this year’s Presidential election. We also made sure that our voices were heard in that decision-making process. To the public, we want to stress the importance of your Kern County Firefighters not only supporting our mission to our community and members but also seeing the bigger picture and what is at stake for our nation. An endorsement such as this does not represent us or our values.
This November 5th will be a historic day and probably one of the most important elections in the history of our great nation. We urge everyone who hasn’t registered to vote to register, and those who are registered, VOTE! Vote your values, vote your beliefs.

? Whom do you want to endorse as rank&file spokesperson?
She won CA before we ever got the ballots. Still stupid though!
Everyone says IAFF and CPF has all the power. Well, San Bernardino County Firefighters just took their power back.
It's been over a decade of neglect. It's time for CHANGE in District 5!!
I have walked District 5 from top to bottom, these are pictures from East, South East and South Bakersfield. It makes me sad to see my community treated like a dumping ground. It also makes me motivated, motivated to win on November 5th so we can have the change we desperately need.
Get those ballots & VOTE Kimberly Salas Supervisor for a clean and safe community ✅

Annual Fund-raising is Underway
It is time for our annual fund-raising drive. We will be reaching out to Kern County residents and businesses in the coming weeks to raise money for local, worthy causes. We will also be sponsoring a Business Directory consisting of fire prevention articles, emergency phone numbers and advertisements from local concerned business owners.
Although Local 1301 has been raising money for charities this way for 26 years, there are always reasonable concerns that these solicitations by phone are part of a scam. We want to ensure our members and the public that calls the may receive in the next few weeks are in fact legitimate and have been authorized and approved by the Local 1301 Board of Directors.
We want to thank everyone for supporting us this year. If you would like to donate, please click the link below to donate.
