East Fork Professional Firefighters

The East Fork Fire and Paramedic Employee's Association (later changed to East Fork Professional Firefighters) was formed on November 23, 1996 with twelve original members. The officers consisted of President Ron Haskins, Vice President Bob Barrett, and Secretary\Treasurer Walt Kesteloot. In 2000 the union was instrumental in adding the position of Fire Fighter to our job title. Previously the members of Local 3726 were assigned to ambulances only. With the drop in volunteerism within Douglas County, career Firefighters\Paramedic's started to staff fire engines as well as ambulances. In January of 2004 the creation of the Battalion Chief within our organization promoted our President and VP out of the union. The Presidency was passed to John Bellona where he continues to sever today.
Our Executive Board consists of 7 members representing a membership of nearly 60. EFPF has come a very long way in our very short existence and continues to be a dominant driving force in shaping the future of the East Fork Fire and Paramedic District. This is accomplished by following the International Association of Firefighters\International Association of Fire Chiefs Agreement to meet mutual goals of ensuring the well-being and safety of personnel.
