Proposition 143 puts local public safety at risk.

This measure would permanently change the Arizona Constitution and could have dangerous consequences for our communities by interfering with local decisions about firefighter staffing, training, recruitment, retention, and working conditions.

These decisions should remain in the hands of local communities, fire chiefs, and the firefighters who protect them every day- not state politicians.

Join your Glendale Firefighters in voting NO on Proposition 143. Protect local control. Protect public safety.

The members of Glendale Firefighters Local 493 extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and all the members of Gilbert Fire & Rescue following the passing of Captain David Tavares.

Captain Tavares dedicated more than two decades to serving others and courageously battled occupational cancer with the same strength and determination that defined his career. His service, sacrifice, and commitment to his community will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, children, loved ones, and our brothers and sisters at Gilbert Fire & Rescue.

Rest easy David, We’ll take it from here.

We extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, crewmates, and all affected by this loss.

Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Rest easy. We’ll take it from here.

For the past three weekends, your Glendale
Firefighters—along with our friends and families—have been out front at local Fry’s grocery stores raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

We’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity, support, and kindness from the Glendale community. Every dollar donated goes toward helping families right here in Arizona who are affected by neuromuscular diseases.

Glendale, you continue to show up in a big way, and we’re proud to serve a community that cares so deeply.

If you had a chance to stop by, donate, or even just say hello—thank you. Your support truly makes a difference. ❤️
