Pocatello Firefighters IAFF local 187

Pocatello Firefighters IAFF Local 187 was established in 1919 to safeguard the community from fire. In the following years, the Firefighters' Union has added to its original charter to include:

Aircraft rescue and firefighting
County Paramedic Ambulance service added in 1976
State HazMat Response Team added in 1991
State Urban Search and Rescue Team added in 2007

All of the Union's firefighters are certified EMTs and are trained to the Ops level in HazMat and USAR. The Union includes Fire Inspectors, Fire Educators and clerical staff.

The Union maintains 100% participation even though Idaho is a "right to work" state.

In an effort to help us communicate effectively with everyone, we’ve created this website. We plan on posting updates, links, questions and answers, and anything related to our union. It is hoped that it will be an easily accessible place to go for information. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Union business that is of a sensitive nature will be posted in the forum's members area. Access to the member's area of the forums will require a user name and password. You will need to setup an account and we will then approve it. This way, we will limit access to only members in sensitive areas of the forum. Your user name should be your first initial with your last name so that the administrator knows who you are and will approve you.

Again, we welcome your comments and suggestions – we want this to be a useful and convenient tool for everyone and want it to be well-used!!
