Thank you to St. Paul firefighters and their families. $15,545.00 was collected in our boots on behalf of the Salvation Army during another successful bell ringing season. As always, they are very appreciative of our effort. The money we receive stays in the community to benefit the citizens of St. Paul. Many thanks to all who participated!

Local 21 Regrets To Announce The Passing Of Retired Firefighter Charlie Touchette.
Charlie Touchette, born March 12, 1934, died December 30, 2011, unexpectedly but peacefully at home.
Most loved father of Michelle, Jenna, Ron (Lori), and Cherie (David), grandfather to Chris, Sarah, Matt, Jon, Emily, Alexander and Ian. Fondly remembered by former spouse, Elaine McDonald. Dearly loved by long time devoted special friend Sharon Lamb and her children William (Shannon), Adron, and grandchildren Ailie Rae and Benjamin Isaac. Preceded in death by son Michael and sister Donna DuBe.
US Army Veteran, ret. St. Paul Firefighter, golf enthusiast, accomplished “fire house” chef and consummate craftsman with a passion for life and learning new things. He will be forever missed by all of us, and all those with whom he spent his professional and personal life; brothers on the fire department, loyal auto body customers, golfing cohorts, Norske Torske & Aqua Torske Investment Klubben associates, and many others too numerous to list.
A celebration of Chuck’s life will be held Thursday, January 12, at Oakwood Church, 1388 Point Douglas Rd S, St. Paul, 55119, 651-578-8478, with a gathering at 10AM, service at 11AM, luncheon to follow. All are welcome. Memorials preferred.

Here is the latest update on the health status of our brother and fellow firefighter Tom Farrell (Firefighter/Paramedic, B-Shift Pool).
As you may remember, Tom was diagnosed with lymphoma of the throat/tongue back in October, 2011. Shortly thereafter, he underwent surgery to remove the cancer.
Friday, January 6th marked the completion of 32 treatments of radiation therapy to help eradicate any remaining affected tissues. As of now, he is cancer free. He will be recovering at home over the next few weeks and will hopefully be back to work in February.
Tom has been an inspiration to all of us in how he’s handled his situation. He’s grateful for all the thoughts, prayers and support he’s received from both “families,” and is anxious to return to work at one of the best fire departments in the country. . . Saint Paul Fire Department!

 March on City Hall!
City Council Meeting to Take Up 2012 Budget
When: Wednesday, December 14th 2011
Where: City Council Chambers, City Hall. Meet at 411 Main Street.
Time: Meet at 411 Main Street between 2:30pm and 3:00pm. Wear your Local 21 gear (gold shirts if you have them). Meeting is at 3:30pm
Despite unprecedented effort on the part of the City Council to preserve the current level of Fire and EMS services in Saint Paul, Mayor Chris Coleman has taken it upon himself to move ahead with the decommissioning of Rescue Squad 2. This means we will be LESS safe in our jobs and the citizens and visitors of Downtown, Highland Park, the West Side, and West 7th Street will be further underserviced. We need all who can make it to attend this meeting and show support for your fellow firefighters. WE NEED EVERYBODY THERE! This is our last chance to make an impact on the Fire budget for 2012.
