Union History:

The history of Local #3005 is a very important thing for members to understand.  To give an example, a professional baseball player does not step up to the plate and automatically end up on 3rd base.  It takes had work, practice, and talent to be able to get a triple.  For the new members of Local #3005, you have found yourselves on 3rd base.  The current contract is a result of the hard work that the current and past Union Leaders of the Bolingbrook Fire Fighters Association have accomplished through negotiations, meetings, arbitrations, etc. 

This page is dedicated to those members who sacrificed time away from their homes, families, and friends to assure each Member of Local #3005 that their best interests and safety have been represented.  Listed on this page are past Bolingbrook Fire Fighters Association Local Executive Board Members.
