Welcome to the official website of the firefighters of Providence, RI. We are members of Local 799 of the International Association of Firefighters. We hope that the information you find here will raise your interest and answer some of your questions about Providence's Bravest: the men and women of the Providence Fire Department, and the work we do.

Find links to coverage of the recent picket of the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meetings here. Thank you to all who marched with us, honked for us, share in our frustration, or take the time to investigate the misinformation being spread by Mayor Cicilline. Please take the time to investigate what you hear in the mayor's radio and tv ads. He has been impossible and largely unavailable to negotiate with, his demands have been more unreasonable than our offered concessions, and since he can't win before neutral arbitrators or the Supreme Court based on the facts, he's now trying to win in the court of public opinion with exaggeration and outright lies.
