engine companies from 60 to 11 if annualized medical leave exceeds 7.5 percent. Current annualized medical leave is 7.4952%. If medical leave continues to trend upward we will be facing a staffing reduction in August. The problem is exacerbated by the recent heat wave. As widely reported, the first week in July was the busiest week for the New York City Fire Department in almost 30 years, as firefighters responded to 93 major fires that resulted in 471 firefighters getting minor injuries. Since July 4th, there have been a total of 8,700 fire incidents. Obviously, if an oppressively hot summer continues, medical leave will continue to rise. A staffing reduction will immediately reduce manning to 4-FF’s on all but eleven engine companies. These remaining eleven 5-man engine companies will also be reduced to 4—and then truck companies will be reduced to 4—as members become injured or sick after the start of the tour. Note that 4-man truck companies will need to modify existing search and rescue protocol (VES) at fires. These manning reductions if enacted will compromise Firefighter and public safety. Pension legislation In June 2009, Governor Paterson vetoed the Tier II Pension Extension Bill, which had previously been approved every two years by the State Senate, Assembly, and Governor for the past 30 years. Although this veto has no impact on current FDNY employees, it will affect future hires with all the Fire and Police unions throughout the state. This winter, Firefighters and Police Officers outside NYC agreed to a new pension tier that maintains the 20-year pension but individuals must now contribute 3% towards their pensions throughout their careers (NYC Firefighters have always contributed to their pensions). Other changes regarding vesting requirements and overtime pension calculations were also agreed upon. Some important progress has been made regarding Presumptive Illness Retirement Laws, though we still face significant challenges. Since the Tier II veto, the UFA spent considerable time in Albany meeting with elected officials regarding maintaining important pension and retirement standards. Most importantly, we insisted that any new tier must include a provision that makes all of the UFA’s presumptive bills permanent. The UFA was successful this winter in getting these legislative improvements made into law. All current and future members and
Page 2
their families now have the protection of permanent heart, cancer and communicable disease laws. No longer will the legislature or future governors be able to play political games with the laws that protect NYC Firefighters. Tier III Pensions As a result of the governor’s veto, the next FDNY class after 7/01/09 will be hired under Tier III which will require employees to work a minimum of 23 years before reaching retirement eligibility, however, there is a built-in COLA. Not all issues are clear or resolved, including reduced disability and death benefits under Tier III. The UFA will continue to update you on the UFA’s negotiations for a new pension tier as they develop. The UFA will also continue to post updates regarding all of the above issues on it’s Web site. A new feature has been added and one can now easily follow breaking news about the UFA on Twitter. A link to register for Twitter is posted on our homepage. Our Twitter tag is: @UFANYC. In May, the annual UFA Delegate Education Seminar was held at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. This year, to recognize their long-time support of firefighters, the UFA honored Bill Grilliot, Chief Executive Officer of Morning Pride/Honeywell, 19712009; Mary Grilliot, Chief Operating Officer, Morning Pride/Honeywell, 1978-2009; and Jack Reilly, VP of Metro Market Accounts, Morning Pride/Honeywell, 1994-2009. Specifics regarding the seminar, as well as the program guide can be viewed on the UFA Web site. Medal Day was held on June 2nd in front of City Hall. A listing of Medal Day recipients, as well as a complete program along with biographical data, can be found on the Department’s Web site. Congratulations to all of the honorees. The UFA is proud of you! As always, stay safe!

Making Sure Our Brothers Are Always Remembered By Joseph A. Miccio, Recording Secretary he September 11th Families’ Association/Tribute WTC Visitor Center, which is located next door to Engine 10 / Ladder 10, is seeking active or retired members of the FDNY to serve as Tribute Center volunteers and guides. Volunteers share their experiences related to September 11, 2001 and educate visitors from around the world about the World Trade Center, through walking tours and informal talks in the galleries. For FDNY members who are looking for an additional opportunity to make a difference through service, you are welcome to consider joining the many NYC Firefighters who currently volunteer at the WTC Tribute Center. Every individual who volunteers for the Tribute Center is motivated to contribute their time for a variety of reasons. One Firefighter describes his motivation to volunteer as, “I was a witness to history and I have to tell people about what happened here.” Located on Liberty Street, the Tribute Visitor Center opened in September 2006. The museum has welcomed over 1.5 million visitors from 120 countries to learn about the story and aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The Tribute Center is a place for people to interact and connect with our history through real first hand accounts from deeply impacted people. Mike Barone, ret. FDNY, feels very strongly about revealing personal details of his experience and sharing the stories of other firefighters. “It makes it real. By sharing my personal story with people from all around the world, I am not only contributing to the telling of the history of 9/11, but also honoring the memory of those who were lost. I am sure there are other FDNY members who have their own stories to contribute. Now is the time. We must speak for all who were lost. If we don’t tell their story, who will?” Another volunteer, Bill Spade, a retired Rescue 5 Firefighter, joined because: “Volunteering at the Tribute WTC Visitor Center has allowed me to honor the 343 firefighters that gave their lives as well as the other victims of September 11th. On tours, speaking with people from all over the world, leaves me with a satisfying feeling that I am giving back a little something to everyone who volunteered in some way or just

remembered New Yorkers in their prayers during the aftermath of September 11th. Through volunteering, the Tribute WTC Visitor Center has given me the opportunity to make new friends, all wonderful sincere people with September 11th as a common bond.” The primary goal is to educate the thousands of visitors of the World Trade Center site every day. This is done through exhibitions, volunteer-led walking tours, and informal talks with world visitors in the galleries. Tribute’s volunteers are the heart of the organization and are very passionate about sharing their personal history as it relates to September 11, 2001. The volunteers are part of the 9-11 COMMUNITY, meaning: family members, rescue/recovery workers, volunteers, survivors of the attacks, and those that lived and worked in the area. To date, over 300 people have been trained as volunteers—many are active and retired NYC Firefighters. As FDNY member Lt. Peter Brown puts it: “I volunteer to put a face on 9/11. Everyone who visits knows exactly where they were on that day and witnessed it on television. I try to convey the sights, sounds, smells and emotions of my personal journey so it transforms a detached memory of a historic event to a connection to another human being’s experience.” For each new volunteer, Tribute Center staff provides training which focuses on best practices of public speaking, sharing your story, working with the public, and collaborating with other volunteers, to name a few topics. Revisiting experiences related to September 11, 2001 can be difficult, but the Tribute team works to provide tools and support for each volunteer to feel comfortable and confident in doing so. Through sharing these experiences, Tribute volunteers provide a humanistic, tangible and historical account and allow visitors from around the world to “NEVER FORGET.” If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering for the Tribute WTC Visitor Center, please contact Tracy Grosner at 212.422.3520, ext. 112, or volunteer@tributewtc.org. Visit http://www.tributewtc.org/walktours/meet.php to download an application. Let’s make sure our story is told and our brothers are always remembered!

Report from the Health and Safety Office By Bill Romaka and Bernadette Royce
Heat Stress n the summer months, the risk of heat stress increases for firefighters. This is particularly true on days with a high heat index. The heat index measures the contributing factor of the humidity on the temperature to determine how hot it actually feels to the body. High humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating. When combined with high temperature, it significantly reduces the body's ability to cool itself.

With all of the above in mind, members should be aware of and make proper use of R&R (recuperation and re-hydration). Chiefs have the discretion to give an hour or two of R&R. With the weather we have recently been experiencing and the fire activity we have had, in certain situations 3 hours have been given. This time should be properly spent on returning to quarters, rehydrating and showering yourself clean of contaminants. The emphasis has to be on your health and s a f e t y and doing it properly which will also benefit the firefighters with whom you work! It is important to take care of yourself to improve your health. As the medical leave numbers approach 7.5%, staffing is in danger of being reduced on our trucks to four firefighters. This will only increase the danger to our citizens and our members.
The aim is for every firefighter to take care of Prevention of heat stress remains crucial. himself or herself properly. If you have questions or Proper hydration prior to any emergency responses is concerns about the above contact the Health and Safety required to ensure that the body has enough fluids. All Office of the UFA at your earliest convenience. members should be drinking ample amounts of water or sports beverages. Caffeinated beverages dehydrate the body and should be avoided. Do not wait until you are thirsty! One of the best indicators of your hydration status is your urine color; it should be pale yellow to Social Security clear. During emergency responses and training, ensure that you replace as much fluid as you are losing. On Disa bility?

Dehydration impairs the body's ability to you become disabled fight heat stress, decreases strength and increases stress you and your family on the cardiovascular system. Heat stress can occur quickly and may result in a severe and even fatal reaction. It is important for all members to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress. These include dizziness and confusion, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and extreme weakness, and fast and shallow breathing. Also, altered mental status, the inability to sweat, and hot dry skin should be considered life-threatening emergencies. To control heat stress, it is important to provide adequate hydration. According to Chief of Safety Stephen Raynis, "As the first step to combating heat stress, members should 'dress down' by removing their bunker coats, helmets, gloves, and opening their bunker pants to release trapped heat." As well as p r o p e r hydration, Chief Raynis further advises using proper work rotation, active cooling and proper rest to prevent heat stress.
