MAINE (WABI) – The Professional Fire Fighters of Maine is calling for an end to the government shutdown.
They say federal firefighters are not getting paid as they continue to work.
PFF Maine says workers at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the Navy’s VLF Transmitter station in Cutler were paid until October 1st.
In a statement, PFF Maine says:
“Our members are struggling without pay. There are over 80 federal firefighters in the State of Maine and we go to work no matter what. We still have to show up to work, pay our bills and protect the assets of the Navy and surrounding communities when they call upon us. We just need the President and Congress to reopen the government and pay federal firefighters for the critical service we provide.”
