From the @staradvertiser :

“Chris Honda, battalion chief of EMS Bureau Hawaii Fire Department, has been on the front line of many emergency situations, including the coronavirus.
.
For the past few months, he and his colleagues have been busy assisting multiple agencies with COVID-19 screenings islandwide, as well as providing coronavirus education to businesses, care homes and others in the community. They are also in charge of making sure their personnel have all the necessary personal protective equipment they need.

A former National Paramedic of the Year, Honda has been involved with various community service projects, such as organizing Mother’s Day rose delivery by firefighters with proceeds benefitting American Cancer Society. A father of three boys, Honda is also a longtime volunteer in the youth baseball scene and is the head baseball coach for Waiakea High School.

Thank you, Chris Honda and the EMS Bureau Hawaii Fire Department, for being our Heroes of Aloha and putting your lives on the line for others in times of crisis.”

FGS is to ensure that training for Mayday prevention and Mayday operations are consistent between all fire fighters, company officers and chief officers. It’s an important component of training that is a matter of life-saving actions if they become lost, disoriented, injured, low on air or trapped.

Retired Maui Deputy Fire Chief and former HFFA-Mau

Retired Maui Deputy Fire Chief and former HFFA-Maui Division Executive Board Member, Lionel Montalvo, speaks about his love of baseball and his love of the kids at St. Anthony High School (Trojans) as head baseball coach for the boys team for the last (5) years ...
.
“It’s always fun because we’re always the underdog,” Montalvo said. “So, we can play against the odds. Baseball is a scouting game and percentages, so it’s fun to go against the percentage and against the odds and take chances. We say: ‘We don’t practice to get lucky, we practice to get good.’
.
-- Montalvo was a part of the coaching team for the Trojans from 2007-2010 as an assistant coach under Shane Dudoit that saw a Maui Interscholastic League title in the final season before Division II existed, continued with an appearance in the first D-II state final and was followed with (2) more final (4) berths ... For the last (5) years, Montalvo has been the head baseball coach.
.
-- Montalvo is a 1978 St. Anthony graduate but his coaching journey has seen him coach football and baseball at Lahainaluna and King Kekaulike. He is a veteran umpire and currently one of the top football referees in the MIL ... He met his wife Karen during his (6) years as a police officer before joining the Maui Fire Department in 1991 and the HFFA Exec Board from 2010-2017. He retired as MFD Deputy Chief in 2018.

Once COVID-19/Coronavirus spreads throughout our islands, it could be devastating & it could happen fast.
.
Please practice social distancing and follow the states mandated quarantine rules.
.
This video illustrates how easily it could happen. It's happened to others including Korea.
.
A COVID-19 "Super Spreader" called "Patient 31" was responsible for an outbreak centered in Daegu. The 61-year-old Shincheonji congregant had a fever and attended 4 church services on Feb 10 and refused to be tested because she hadn't traveled abroad.
.
She and 37 other members from the church later tested positive and around 52 others showed symptoms (at the time they had not been tested). A month later: "The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that as of Saturday, 63.5 percent (almost 4300) of all confirmed cases (6,767) in the country were “related to Shincheonji.”

With the number of positive cases in our State gro

With the number of positive cases in our State growing each day, it is important that we each do our part to help flatten the curve.
.
With Governor Ige's proclamation to statewide shelter in place and each Mayor doing their best to protect their counties, it is hoped that Hawaii will be able to limit the spread COVID-19.
.
Stay home.
.
You will help save lives.

In recognition of the month of February being known and designated as "Olelo Hawaii Month" --

Kīkoʻo

Kī – spouting, gushing water
ko’o – support, sustain
.
Kamaile (the current location of Station 26) was an established Hawaiian settlement and part of the Wai‘anae Ahupua‘a during pre-westernization.
.
One particular water spring named Kīko‘o was a blessing and source of life for Kamaile in a notably arid area. Early recordings show four extensive taro terrace sections were watered by Kīko‘o as it helped to support a highly populated community. Kīko‘o originated from underground and was one of the few year-round water sources on the Wai‘anae Coast.
.
Now utilized as a water source by the Board of Water Supply, Kīko‘o continues to play a major part in the life and sustainment of Wai‘anae.

Our #HFFA1463Ohana was among our family of unions

Our #HFFA1463Ohana was among our family of unions at this morning's Labor of Love Event at Kalihi Elementary School.
.
Every year, the Hawaii State AFL-CIO Labor Community Service's Labor of Love project supports a different Hawaii Department of Education school each year.
.
In addition to campus improvements, the Labor of Love project donates funds to the school’s academic and achievement program to help students strive to reach their highest potential.
.
-- MAHALO to our #HonoluluFF Ohana who took time out of their day to join us! It was also great to see @ltgovjoshgreen!

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, several of your #HFFA1463

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, several of your #HFFA1463 Exec Board attended the #IAFF Affiliate Leadership Training Summit (ALTS) in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
.
From learning how we can maximize access to IAFF resources for our #HFFA1463Ohana and better communicating across all generations to engaging with leaders in cancer research in the fire service and tracking our exposures, ALTS teaches union leaders how to better serve our members.
.
It was also an opportunity to (re)connect with our brothers and sisters from across the nation and Canada.
.
MAHALO to the IAFF for another great conference!
