Leonia Fire Department Company No. 1

3 weeks ago

The Leonia Volunteer Fire Department exists to protect the residents of Leonia, defend life and property, and otherwise serve our community. We are volunteers and members of the community. On Sunday evening, two of our members made statements on social media connected with the protests held over the weekend, which are such a prominent part of our current national dialogue.

While these comments were made through mediums not affiliated with the Volunteer Fire Dept, we understand that the comments of our members can and do reflect on the Fire Dept, and we further understand that at least one comment was insensitive, inappropriate, and indeed, offensive. The Fire Dept does not condone racism or sexism, and supports the right to peacefully protest.

The Leonia Volunteer Fire Department will actively address with each of the two members and their posts. We are further prioritizing mandatory sensitivity training for all members. The men and women of the Fire Dept remain open to a broader community discussion and welcome new volunteers, of all backgrounds, willing to help us move forward. ... See MoreSee Less

"On Sunday evening, two of our members made statements on social media connected with the protests held over the weekend, which are such a prominent part of our current national dialogue." I think it's more accurate to say the statement sexualized a young woman and reinforced hateful tropes about Asian people at large. "Happy ending" is not a statement connected to the protest; it's connected to the woman he saw and her ethnicity. This was not addressed.

The best

i think to call those comments “insensitive” and “inappropriate” are a bit of an understatement. and this post appears to be your typical sorry we got caught blanket statement. a grown man who’s supposed to be someone for the community degraded not just the girl in the picture, but also the asian community, essentially implying that they are all prostitutes. i’m sure the community, myself included, would like to see what actual next steps and trainings the department will be implementing and not just another we will do better superficial statement so that something like this doesn’t reoccur.

Leonia Fire Department Company No. 1

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance- a day to honor those who have given their lives for our freedoms. In the Leonia Fire Department, we take this time to pay tribute to our past members and honor their memory by remembering their courage and sense of duty to the community they loved.
Some of these men died in the line of duty; some passed away while still active members of the Department. Others retired and moved away. Some were chief officers; others wore black hats until their final call. But ALL of them were firefighters, and that was what they were proud of, at the end of the day and at the end of their lives. Every single one of these men made an unquestionable commitment to their neighbors and friends, and the citizens of Leonia.
