We hope that you will be able to join us for our 4th annual IAFF Local 244 Fire Muster. We will gather at Civic Plaza in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 29th to celebrate this fundraiser. All money raised will benefit the Local 244 Survivors Fund. This fund is instrumental in allowing us to support the firefighters that have been faced with life-altering medical challenges. Whether it is our own Firefighters facing hardship from the course of the job, or their spouses or children, we are able to assist with the monetary hardships that come with life-threatening illness and/or diagnosis. 

This Muster will highlight the event that every Firefighter knows from their time becoming a firefighter, the Combat Challenge (modified). Firefighters will don their bunker gear and give their all in the name of pride for their Department, their fire house, their division and their community. They will climb stairs, sledge hammer steel, drag hose and mannequins in the least amount of time possible to take home the coveted traveling trophy. 

Their will be fun for the entire family from 1pm to 6pm.
