Her commitment to ensuring that all firefighters have the resources, mentorship, and support they need is truly inspiring. We are grateful to have her as a member of Local 45 and as a strong voice in the fire service.

The Newport Professional Firefighters want to wish our incredible community a joyful and safe Christmas! We are honored to serve such an amazing city year-round, and during this special season, we’re reminded of the true spirit of giving.
Last night, Santa got a head start delivering presents to some very special children right here in Newport! With a little help from your firefighters and our Beyond the Call efforts, we were able to spread some holiday cheer and create smiles that will last a lifetime.
From our family to yours, may your day be filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of the season. Thank you, Newport, for allowing us the privilege of being a part of this wonderful community.
Great job, Local 45 and Santa Claus! Strong tradition that is carried on, proud of you all.
Awesome!

Today, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all the active and retired members of Local 45 who came together to help purchase gifts for the children of Newport.
This year’s turnout was truly remarkable. Thanks to everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm, we completed all the shopping and wrapping by noon, leaving the rest of the day to reconnect and enjoy each other’s company, a wonderful reflection of the camaraderie of our Local 45 family.
While out shopping, we were thrilled to see the Newport Police Department FOP hosting their annual Cops with Kids Christmas event. It was inspiring to witness the incredible work they’re doing to build positive relationships between law enforcement and the children of Newport. Their dedication, along with the generosity of their sponsors made such a meaningful impact on so many families. We applaud their efforts and the joy they brought to our community.
We’d also like to give a special shoutout to New Riff West Campus, St. Elizabeth ER staff, Target (Deb), and Joseph Subaru for their incredible support this year. Their contributions helped make this event possible, and we are truly grateful for their generosity and dedication to the community.
A special thank you also goes to Commissioner Julie Smith-Morrow and her family for lending their time and energy to help shop and wrap today. And we would be remiss if we didn’t send out a heartfelt thank you to Nick Brown and his wife, Sarah, for their direction, dedication, and thoughtful efforts that made this year’s event so seamless and memorable.
Generosity and unwavering support are the foundation of everything we strive to embody. Together, we’ve not only provided gifts but also delivered hope, joy, and unforgettable memories to families in Newport during this special season. This is what community truly means, neighbors uniting to support and uplift one another, and it’s an honor to be part of something so impactful. We couldn’t be more thankful or more proud to serve as Newport Professional Firefighters. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this possible. ... See MoreSee Less
Loved seeing the whole process this year. From fundraising to shopping to wrapping. Great work everyone! These kiddos will have an amazing Christmas this year!
Thank you all for your service to the City of Newport, and for all you do for the families in the community. Four years ago, my grandchildren lost their dad a month before Christmas. They were blessed with an outpouring of kindness, not only from the school they attended, but also from the fire department, including a visit from Santa.
Thank you all for your service and for helping those in need have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❤️🙏
