Members of the Camden Fire Department over the years been represented by different union and fraternal organizations, including the International Association of Fire Fighters, the International Association of Fire Fighters, the Brotherhood of Professional Fire Fighters, the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, and the Society of Camden Latino Fire Fighters. The website was fortunate enough to have been donated some photographs of different events involving members of the Camden Fire Department involved in Local 788 IAFF events, which have been posted on this page. Local 788 also published FIRE WATCH MAGAZINE in the 1990s, which detailed the activities of the Department in its annual issues. I hope to be able to reproduce several issues on the website in time. If you can identify anyone not named in the photos on the website, or if would like to see other images or stories posted, please e-mail me. Phil
