Provincial Fire Fighters Association Throws Support Behind Surrey First

SURREY, BC: The association representing fire fighters across BC is urging its members who live in Surrey to vote for Surrey First on November 15 ^th .

Surrey’s own firefighters local has already endorsed Surrey First, but the endorsement letter from the provincial association was sent this week to all members who live in Surrey, including those who might work as fire fighters in other municipalities.

The November 3 ^rd letter, written and sent by Michael Hurley, President of the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association states:

Surrey First has a clear and demonstrated record of support for Fire Fighters and public safety. With candidates like recently retired IAFF member Mike Starchuk, this support of public and Fire Fighter safety will no doubt continue.

We urge all members to vote on November 15th and to please consider casting your ballot in support of our own Mike Starchuk for council, Linda Hepner for Mayor and the rest of the Surrey First Team.

“These are the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us every day, and they know from experience that Surrey First places the safety and security of our residents above all,” said Surrey First mayoral candidate Linda Hepner. “We have the greatest respect for the work they do, and to have the provincial association recognize our efforts to support the work of their members speaks volumes about our ability to bring stakeholders together and protect our citizens.”
