This giving season, we were proud to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association with a $1,000 donation toward their 2025 Fill the Boot efforts.
These funds help advance MDA’s mission by supporting life-changing research, providing critical care and services, and empowering individuals and families living with neuromuscular diseases. We are honored to play a small part in helping MDA continue to make a meaningful difference in our community.

On behalf of Local 4945 we would like to offer our condolences to the family of Graham Hoffman and to Local 42 (KCFD).

Described as compassionate, caring, loving, and a leader on and off the job by his fellow firefighters and academy classmates. It is with great sorrow and sadness we announce the passing of KCFD Firefighter Paramedic Graham Hoffman. Firefighter Hoffman died from injuries sustained when he was stabbed in the chest by a patient he was transporting to the hospital in the early hours of April 27th. Graham was a dedicated professional who loved serving his city. He will be greatly missed. Funeral details will follow in the coming days. Rest in peace Firefighter Graham Hoffman.
