Concord Firefighter Union Facebook Post Goes Viral

It was a simple comment on the Professional Firefighters Local 1045, the union for Concord’s firefighters: ”So, what is this sticker all about?”

The president of the union, Jim Duckworth, a firefighter/EMT, noted that it was something that he had heard ”quite frequently” and then explained what it means.

“This sticker signifies honor, dependability, selflessness, trust, and bravery,” he wrote, and then explained what it meant to be a member of the department’s union.

Read the full post and the hundreds of comments on Facebook which contains notes from other firefighters sharing their decals, family members of firefighters, and people who have been helped from all of the United States.

Local 1045 raised thousands for MDA last year and also bought coats for needy children in Concord last winter.
