SEATTLE FIRE DEPARTMENT HISPANIC FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION

 This effort is not about division. It is about connection, mentorship, professional development, cultural pride, and ensuring that Hispanic firefighters within SFD have a strong network of support and representation. It is about building relationships across generations of firefighters and creating opportunities for current and future members of this department.

Our goals include:

• Supporting recruitment and retention of qualified candidates and firefighters
• Mentoring recruits and younger members navigating the department
• Creating networking and leadership opportunities
• Participating in community outreach and public events
• Preserving and honoring the contributions Hispanic members have made to SFD
• Strengthening unity and camaraderie within the department
