Saying Goodbye

As time marches on, we continue to see our members make the scary yet exciting transition into retirement.  Tonight we celebrated an unprecedented nine members and their combined 250+ years of service.  It was an exceptional time with over 200 people in attendance.  After dinner, there was time for each of them to get up and say a few words about their time at Tahoe Douglas. 

Members that we celebrated were:

                Rick Nicholson                                   Dennis McLaughlin

                Terry Hughes                                     Gordon Paul

                Scott Stice                                           Mike Hastie

                Larry Schussel                                    Glen Sanders

                Jon Hayes

It was a memorable time for everyone and each of these guys is certain to look back on their career at Tahoe Douglas Fire with good memories and a sense of accomplishment.

Gentlemen, THANKS FOR THE RIDE!

Tahoe Douglas answers the call! 

Despite a relatively quiet fire season, Tahoe Douglas was proud to serve by responding when called.  We look forward to a safe winter and await the chance to serve wherever called next fire season.  

The Tahoe Douglas Firefighters Association wishes everyone a happy and healthy new year. 

The Executive Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Brandon Brady to the negotiations team.  Brother Jim Hardison stepped down which left a vacancy on the five-member team and it was good to see several interested parties.  After extensive discussion, Brandon was chosen to finish the term which will expire at the December elections. 

Congratulations also to Brother Ralph Jones for his election as the chair of the negotiaions team; we know he will do well and welcome him as a member of the Executive Board. 

One more congratulations to Todd Moss for his election as the chair of the Health and Safety Committee.  As such, he also becomes one of the five-member Executive Board.  Press on Brother Moss for the health and well being of the membership and thanks for your work.

Local 2441 would like to welcome our three new additions to the family! Matt Brown and Nathan Johnson are former Firefighter/Paramedics from Storey County Fire and Jesse Rowan is a former Firefighter/Paramedic from the Reno Fire Department.  These three will attend a short in-house mini-academy starting March 1st and come on line for us as Firefighter/Paramedics at St 3 around the beginning of April.

Please Welcome them as you see them around the stations and in training..........
