RFFOW is where the firehouse bond doesn’t end—it evolves. We are retired firefighters—men and women—connected by shared sacrifice, lifelong friendships, and the pride of having served something bigger than ourselves. We carry forward the traditions built on trust, grit, and teamwork, and we honor the years shaped by alarms, long nights, and hard-earned experience. In this community, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder in retirement just as we did on the job—supporting one another, protecting what matters, and keeping our stories alive. Together, we remain a united voice, a steady brotherhood and sisterhood, and a living reminder of not only what we did—but what we stood for.
