The IAFF Local 244 was presented with a Traditional Jemez Pueblo Walatowa Belt made by Member Emiliano Chavez and blessed by Jemez Pueblo Medicine Man Thurman Loretto in a ceremony at the Union Hall on September 25, 2012. The belt symbolizes the protection, safety and unity of all Firefighters. We are humbled to have this gift bestowed upon the membership and pay the utmost respect to Jemez Pueblo.
