IAFF Local 21 Mayoral Candidate Screening – City of Saint Paul 

On August 20th, IAFF Local 21 Saint Paul Firefighters will be conducting our official screening process for candidates running for Mayor of Saint Paul. As your firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics, we remain deeply committed to public safety, strong communities, and protecting the rights of working people.

Our screening process focuses on the key issues that matter most to our members and the residents we proudly serve — including:

- Commitment to investment in public safety
- Support for safe staffing of first responders and emergency services
- Advocacy for fair labor practices and workers’ rights

We sincerely thank the mayoral candidates for taking the time to meet with us and share their leadership vision. A final endorsement decision will be made in the coming weeks, and we’ll continue to keep our community informed every step of the way. 

Local 21 Brothers and Sisters,

As many of you are aware, Firefighter Dylan Mills was seriously injured in an off-duty motorcycle accident.  The Mills Family is grateful for all the support Dylan has received while in the hospital.  Thankfully, Dylan is now at home and his prognosis is good, but it's anticipated he will need several months before making a full recovery.

We want Dylan to be able to focus on healing.  Fire Administration is requesting Local 21's assistance with filling Dylan's future shifts, calling for volunteers to pick up a day or two between now and October 4th.  They've approved 24-hour shifts (preferred) and 12-hour shifts (as needed.)  There is no expectation that Dylan will pay anyone back if someone covers a shift for him.  All ranks are eligible to work.  However, if you are promoted, you could be working back as a Firefighter.  It is not necessary that you are a Paramedic.  Dylan is a Firefighter assigned to the Pool on the (A) Shift.

Available shifts are posted HERE and will be regularly updated.

If you are available to assist, please CLICK HERE to fill out and submit the form.

If you're unable to pick up a shift and/or looking for additional ways to support Brother Mills during his recovery, please consider donating to his GoFundMe.  Thank you!

“ATTENTION SPFD A-SHIFT

If you want to pick up one of Dylan Mills' shifts and have vacation scheduled that day, you can sign up for that shift and have your vacation day deposited back into your bank. “
