August 13th, 2009 dawned much as it did 3 years ago; a clear, sunny morning with just a hint of early autumn in the air. And like 3 years ago friends, family, and co-workers were drawn together to remember Lt. Arnie Wolff who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of his duties when he was killed in a house fire on Edgewood Drive.
On a brisk October morning, over 150 firefighters, families, and friends turned out to view the dedication of the newly finished Green Bay Fire Fighter Tribute located on the banks of the Fox River in downtown Green Bay Read More... Download:

Following the monthly union meeting of IAFF Local 141, members re-convened at Mackinaw's Food and Spirits to follow through on a yearlong endeavor of merging various IAFF local unions. Union leaders from Allouez Locals 2477 and 4226 and DePere Local 1998 along with those from Local 141 signed a merger agreement that will significantly change the union fire fighter landscape for years to come. The agreement specifically brings together the 4 locals under the umbrella and current leadership of Local 141. It also brings into the fold all the talents, creativity, and assets of the locals so that together, we all become stronger with a single, unified voice.
Within the next month, the ASIA (Austin Straubel International Airport) fire fighters may also be merging with Local 141. That approval will come from the members following a referendum ballot in early March. Before any merger is completely final, each individual merger will be debated and voted on by the Executive Board of the IAFF. Following the approval of the IAFF and the revocation of their charter, they would officially become members of IAFF Local 141.
The IAFF has announced the winners of the 2008 IAFF Media Awards. WFRV-TV reporter Tammy Elliot and photojournalist Mike Vandersnick received the 1st place award in the "Television News Feature or Documentary" category. Their feature, Fire Fighters: At Work, At Risk, explained how the fire department and the City of Green Bay addressed the emotional and physical needs of Green Bay's fire fighters 6 months after the death of Lt. Arnie Wolff.
The contest, conducted annually, honors reporting and photography that best portray the professional and dangerous work of fire fighters in the United States and Canada. In addition, these awards recognize outstanding work by IAFF affiliates in communicating with their members and generating public awareness for fire fighters in their respective communities. The winning entry submitted by IAFF Local 141 was one of 277 entered into this year's contest.
