Menlo Park Firefighters Association
updated their
Contact Information
and
About Us Page
|

Little is known about firefighting or the firefighters that provided the
service to Menlo Park and surrounding areas prior to 1915. No formal
organization had existed, and if records were ...kept by the volunteers,
they have long since disappeared. However, two items still exist, which
date back to the period of time between 1900 and 1915. One is a brass
bell manufactured in May of 1900 by W.T. Garrot and Company of San
Francisco. The bell was donated in 1900 to the community by Chris F.
Smith. The other is a hose wagon manufactured by the Larkin Company of
San Francisco. Its date of manufacture is unknown, but it was in
service when the Fire District was formed. Presently both the bell and
the wagon reside at Menlo Park Fire Protection District Headquarters
located at 300 Middlefield Road in Menlo Park.
On September 16th, 1915, a letter of intent to form a Fire District
was summated to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors signed by
sixty-two Menlo Park and Atherton Taxpayers. On January 3rd, 1916, a
petition requesting the formation of the Menlo Park Fire District was
presented to the Board of Supervisors by Phillip Wales. On June 16th,
1916, at 11:24am the Menlo Park Fire Protection District was formed.
The vote passed with 100 in favor and 58 against. The original area we
protected was 12 square miles, which was later increased to 17 square
miles when the District annexed East Palo Alto and has gradually grown
to what is today at 30 square miles.
The first meeting of the Volunteer Firemen was held on April 11th,
1917. This meeting only had 11 out of 18 volunteer members in
attendance. The Menlo Park Fire Protection District was lead by
Volunteer Fire Chief Frank P. Roach who served and protected a
population of approximately 1000 citizens. The first 11 known Firemen,
on record, with the Menlo Park Fire District were: Frank P. Roach, Harry
B. Morey Jr., John J. Tuttle, William T. Casey, John Marcy, Donald
Derry, James Brurke, Charles M. Weeden Jr., Arthur Midgley, Percy
Ellings, and John N. Hallsan. These volunteers were paid for meetings
and trainings.
The first fully paid fireman was Leslie Brown, he was hired in 1918
and our first paid Fire Chief was Fred Whitaker. Fred Whitaker was a
retired San Francisco Fire Captain. Chief Whitaker was our Chief until
1932 when he was replaced by Fire Chief Thomas F. Cuff, who was a former
Berkeley Fire Captain. Our earliest records show Thomas F. Cuff was
the first recognized President of the Menlo Park Firemens’ Association
in 1932 and it is in his honor that we named our Association’s Antique
Fire Engine , a 1935 Seagrave, “Old Tom”. Our Association went on for
six years before it was officially Incorporated, under President Charles
Dompe, as the “Menlo Park Firemens’ Association” on December 17th,
1938.
During World War II the Fire District was staffed by a total of 12
full time firefighters, one part time Secretary-Clerk and volunteers.
In late 1945, after the end of World War II, the volunteer force was
disbanded and the District became a fully paid, a Professional Fire
Department.
On October 1st, 1974 the Menlo Park Firemens’ Association Inc.
became affiliated with the International Association of Firefighters
(IAFF) as IAFF Local 2372. We kept our own Local until there was a push
to join a consolidated San Mateo County IAFF Local, Local 2400. On
February 2nd, 1976 our Association gave up our individual Local
Affiliation, IAFF Local 2372, to join the consolidated Local. This
Local was identified as San Mateo County Firefighters, Local 2400.
In 1977 the Executive Board of Local 2400 had a General Membership
meeting to vote on a dues increase. The Menlo Park Firefighters were
opposed to the increase and nearly every off duty member, approximately
60 firefighters, were in attendance to vote the increase down. The
resolution failed but at the next meeting the dues increase was brought
back up under old business and without our membership present the
resolution was passed.
Following the dues increase, on January 1st, 1978, every active
member of our Association dropped out of the Local 2400 with the
exception of our Association’s designated Labor Representatives. Our
Labor Reps stayed in due to the existing contract that identified Local
2400 as the Labor Force to the Menlo Park Fire Protection District. Our
affiliation with the IAFF and San Mateo County Firefighters Local 2400,
ended on April 5th,1979 when the contract expired and by mutual consent
Menlo Park Firefighters were no longer affiliated with the Local 2400.
The Menlo Park Firemens’ Association went on without any significant
changes for nearly a decade. On October 30th, 1989, “Menlo Park
Firemens’ Association Inc.” officially and legally changed our name to
“the Menlo Park Firefighters’ Association Inc.” via a vote of the
General Membership.
In 1992 our Fire District hired a new Fire Chief, Rick Tye. Rick
Tye was our Chief until 1997 and during his tenure he made some fairly
progressive changes to our Fire District. However, like all things with
the good comes the bad and when Rick Tye placed a bid to provide
services for the federally funded Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC), in
1995, it concerned the Palo Alto Fire Department and its Firefighters.
If the Federal Government would have accepted his bid, it would have
had an adverse effect on the funding for the Palo Alto Fire Department
as well as the security of the Palo Alto Firefighters, Local 1319.
The situation was exacerbated when Rick Tye and the Fire District
placed a bid to provide Fire Protection Services to San Mateo County
Service Area 8, in 1996. This was an area of unincorporated San Mateo
County which Redwood City had been under contract to provide services to
for years. The bid was not accepted by the County. However, because
the District’s bid for services that was lower than Redwood City’s, it
had an adverse effect on the Redwood City Fire Department and its Local
2400 Members. When the County awarded the contract with Redwood City,
it awarded it with the Fire Districts proposed rate.
These issues all came to a head on May 19th, 1997 when the Redwood
City Firefighters, and Local 2400 sent a letter to Al Whitehead, the
then General President of IAFF, seeking that Menlo Park Firefighters and
our Administration be declared a “Rival Organization.” On May 26th,
the IAFF unanimously voted to declare the Menlo Park Firefighters and
our Administration a Rival Organization; it was a dark day for the Menlo
Park Fire Fighters’ Association.
In 1998 the Menlo Park Firefighters Association attempted to
affiliate itself with the IAFF once again. Our Association attempted to
revive our original Local, Local 2372 but were denied by the
International. The following year, in 1999, the “Menlo Park
Firefighters Association Inc.” once again affiliated itself with the
IAFF and San Mateo County Firefighters, Local 2400 with a vote of the
General Membership. With that renewed affiliation, we became Menlo Park
Firefighters Association Inc., District 10 of IAFF Local 2400. Our
Association is proud of that affiliation.
Today our Association is made up of roughly 90 Active Members and 5
Associate Members. We have two other categories of Members which are
Retired and Honorary. Active Members of our Association include members
holding the Rank of Captain and below and Associate Members hold the
Rank of Battalion Chief and above within the Menlo Park Fire Protection
District.
Whether you are Active, Honorary, Retired or Associate all members
of the Menlo Park Firefighters’ Association know what our Mission is.
The Menlo Park Firefighters’ Association exists to protect, improve, and
preserve the lives of both the Citizens of the District and the Members
of the Firefighter Association.
