David Campbell Memorial Update - Brick Edition

The Senior Fire Fighter Podcast from PFFA, hosted by Josef Kuehnast. These long form interviews discuss the life and career of some of Portland Fire & Rescue's high performing, dedicated members.

A conversation with retired Portland Fire Fighter and historian Don Porth, inspired by the recent Campbell Memorial fund raising campaign. Don is a wealth of information, a tireless advocate for the Memorial and an all around good guy.

A follow up conversation with our VOYA representative Greyson Stefani and Matt Fullerton. We try to pick up where our last discussion left off. It's always to good to revisit these topics every year or so. Enjoy.

In my opinion, the most important PFFA Pod to date. TVFR's long time President, Rocky Haines, joins Kyle, Hutch, and Travis to talk about Health Care Trusts. If you ever wondered what it would be like for Portland Fire to get our own Trust, listen to him talk about how it has worked for our neighbors.

This is a hard one to describe. It was a round table discussion of sorts, with Tara Stein, Matt Coffey, John Harrell, Bozeb Beckwith and Kyle MacLowry. All with unique expertise and interest in fire service behavioral health, and how we can help one another. We start close to home talking about Bob Stere and then zoom out in an attempt to generalize some of the challenges faced by some fire fighters.

Anna Rozzi tells us about the bladder cancer research she is doing at OHSU. We need more fire fighters to take the survey. Click here https://ohsu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aW5VrH58N60Of1I or on the QR code to help out.

A free style hour with President McLennan on the current events at Local 43. We sat down without an agenda to see what was top of mind for our Local president. It is always fun to spend a little time with Isaac, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What is the value of our SL benefit? We all know it accrues slower than VL and that the retirement payout is a variable percentage of final salary. However, there is more to it than that and members have a variety of thoughts about using vs saving this leave. It is an interesting topic to kick around the table, we hope you find something of value in the discussion.
