LATEST FROM THE LOCAL 1590 

Great family fun day yesterday at Wilmington Blue Rocks stadium for the Battle of the Badges. Thanks to everyone who participated and those who came out to support. Also a special thanks to Grotto Pizza for always supporting our efforts.

Last night, at the regularly scheduled monthly Union meeting, the Executive Board and members of the Local 1590 surprised 4 people that have shown years of support and made significant contributions to our Local with an Honorary Membership into the Local 1590. John Randolph has been taking pictures and supporting the 1590 for years, and is also a retired WPD officer. Bob Williams stood behind our Union during our darkest hours, and supported us in City Council at every turn. Bob is also a retired WPD officer. Gary Nitsche has been taking care of all of our work-related injuries and worker’s compensation cases and issues for many years and has always made this process smooth and easy for our members. Last but certainly not least, ”The Rev”, Reverend Brad Martin. Rev Brad has been involved with the Local 1590 since the early 80s. He is without a doubt, FAMILY! Rev Brad’s presence is always felt. From daily visits to the stations to 3am fires, Rev Brad is there. Whether it’s with a warm handshake or a cold cup of water, he is ever present. The members of the IAFF Local 1590 would like to say thank you to all of these gentlemen for their continued support and look forward to many more years of friendship with them.
