Very
good
how's
it
going
good
good.
Lieutenant
creighton's
told
me
that
you
guys
are
doing
a
great
job
this
summer
he's
very
proud
of
you.
I
know
today's
an
important
day.
Besides
having
the
mayor,
you're
learning
cpr,
you,
you
saw
fire
safety
in
the
home,
lieutenant
perkins
captain
preston,
they
did
a
great
job.
I
hope
you
paid
close
attention
to
this.
I
hope
you
all
want
to
be
firefighters
and
continue
this
journey
down
the
path
to
being
firefighters.
You
have
a
lot
of
great
services.
I
hope
you
come
back
next
year.
C
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
so
thankful
for
your
service,
I'm
so
thankful
for
your
leadership
and
I'm
really
honored
all
the
time
to
appear,
alongside
our
great
commissioner
burke,
soon
to
be
a
neighbor
of
mine
he's
almost
moving
in
and
all
of
our
teachers
and
team
members
and
leaders
at
the
boston
fire
department.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
C
I
am
really
excited
that
we
will
also
get
to
hear
from
aaliyah
and
anthony
who
have
shared
a
little
bit
about
their
current
feelings
about
this
program,
but
also
where
they're
headed
in
the
future.
So
I'm
already
blown
away
and
inspired
and
can't
wait
for
you
to
hear
them
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
to
michael
gaskins,
larry
smith,
lieutenant
perkins,
lieutenant
creighton
and
everyone
who's
been
involved
in
setting
up
this
summer
and
making
sure
that
our
department
is
reaching
out
and
connected
to
our
community
members
across
every
neighborhood
of
boston.
C
We
are
in
another
heatwave,
and
this
is
a
way
that
the
weather
is
changing
in
boston,
that
we're
going
to
have
to
come
to
expect
and
deal
with
as
the
summers
go
on.
We
know
that
the
all
the
reports
tell
us
that
in
boston,
the
number
of
90
degree
plus
days
are
just
going
to
go
up.
We
did
a
report
a
couple
years
ago
in
the
city,
and
it
was
on
average
every
year.
There'd
be
something
like
a
couple
like
30-ish
high
heat
days
above
90
degrees.
That
number
is
expected
to
triple.
C
C
We
also
know
that
it's
been
a
long
stretch
too,
so
not
just
the
highest
temperatures,
but
also
the
longest
period
in
a
row
that
we've
had
days
over
80
degrees
of
hot
weather.
We
know
that
this
extreme
heat
doesn't
just
make
fires
more
likely.
We
have
seen
that
and
the
risks
that
this
department
takes
on,
as,
as
those
fires
happen
in
our
neighborhoods
and
so
many
lives
are
saved.
It
also
makes
the
fires
much
more
dangerous
to
fight
we've
seen
firefighters
sent
to
the
hospital
because
of
heat
exhaustion.
C
C
Not
many
people
across
the
city
know
that
we
even
have
that
technology
and
I
think
even
fewer
people
know
that
it
is
free
for
residents
to
get
one
of
those.
If
you
need
it
or
if
you
know
a
family
member
or
neighbor
or
friend,
who
does
so
please
reach
out
to
the
boston
fire
department
and
the
fire
prevention
unit
will
get
you
set
up
right
away?
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
about
this
information
and
that
we're
getting
it
to
you
now,
so
that
we
can
save
lives.
C
C
This
was
started
in
2017
as
part
of
the
summer
employment
program
through
the
city
of
boston
and
the
fire
department's
team
academy
is
a
way
for
our
incredible
leaders
in
the
city,
our
young
leaders,
to
learn
what
it
takes
to
be:
a
boston
fire
department,
firefighter
oldest
in
the
nation,
the
finest
in
the
nation
and
you're
already
getting
trained.
It's
an
incredible
experience
from
learning
cpr
like
today
to
throwing
lines
practicing,
extinguishing
fires
and
controlled
scenarios
and
thinking
about
career
readiness,
helping
our
young
people
plan
ahead.
C
This
program
offers
valuable
training,
insights
and
brings
in
guest
speakers
from
all
different
industries
and
professions
as
well,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
two
of
our
young
leaders
in
a
little
bit
about
what
this
program
means
and
what
their
experience
has
been
and
for
any
of
you
all
who
have
been
going
through
these
weeks
and
are
thinking
this
is
it.
This
is
what
I
want
to
spend
my
life
doing,
helping
my
community
getting
involved
in
making
a
difference
in
this
way.
C
We
are
so
excited
that
this
year,
thanks
to
commissioner
burke's
leadership,
we
will
be
launching
the
first
ever
class
of
boston
fire
cadets.
This
will
be
a
pipeline
directly
into
the
department
they
will.
The
department
will
look
to
open
this
position
and
hold
interviews
this
fall
and
make
selections
in
the
spring.
C
In
closing,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
firefighters
at
the
department
for
continuing
to
keep
our
residents
safe
and
battling
blazes
in
this
incredible
heat.
Thank
you
to
our
fire
prevention,
education
unit.
For
all
that
you
do
to
help
us
stop
fires
before
they
start
and
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
residents,
including
our
residents
with
disabilities,
are
safe
in
their
homes
to
this
year's
teen
academy
participants.
C
I
want
to
wish
you
luck
as
you
head
into
the
final
few
days
and
into
school
or
on
to
the
next
step.
As
you
transition
out
of
this
program,
we
are
so
grateful
for
all
the
contributions
that
you
are
making
to
our
city
and
will
continue
to
make
and
then
just
because
we
want
to
make
sure
to
reach
all
of
our
residents.
D
E
E
F
A
I
just
want
everybody
to
watch
tv
tonight
and
when
you
tell
your
parents
that
oh
I
was
on
tv
today
today
was
your
first
press
conference
and
hopefully
not
your
last.
We
hope
to
see
every
each
and
every
one
of
you
graduating
from
the
police
academy,
the
fire
academy,
whatever
academy
we
want
you
to
do
well,
listen
to
your
mentors
and
appreciate
what
you
have
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
G
C
Yeah
every
department
in
the
city,
every
industry
right
now,
is
really
struggling
to
make
sure
that
we're
filling
positions.
That's
why
programs
like
teen
academy
and
our
cadet
program
and
other
pipelines
directly
for
our
boston
residents
are
so
important
for
city
jobs
that
are
good,
decent
jobs
that
help
serve
the
public
and
for
other
industries
as
well,
and
so
we've
been
really
partnering
with
lots
of
other
folks,
whether
it's
the
mbta
or
others,
to
talk
about
how
we
can
help
support
and
fill
some
of
these
positions.
F
C
So
by
law,
the
city
is
supposed
to
do
an
analysis
of
all
of
the
salaries
of
cabinet
heads
department,
heads
and
those
who
are
not
covered
by
collective
bargaining
agreements
in
the
city,
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
and
contracts.
We
negotiate
and
have
come
started
in
in
this
office
almost
nine
months
ago,
with
every
single
one
of
our
contracts
expired,
we've
gotten
a
good
way.
C
Some
of
our
major
contracts,
including
the
with
the
boston
teachers
union
and
many
of
our
municipal
unions,
have
been
settled,
and
so
we're
making
good
ground
on
that,
but
for
the
city
workers
and
for
the
staff
members
who
are
in
community
every
day,
but
not
covered
by
collective
bargaining
agreement.
The
mechanism
to
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
a
look
at
how
their
salary
should
change
over
time
is
through
a
compensation
review
study.
That
study
is
supposed
to
happen
every
two
years.
I
think
because
of
the
pandemic.
C
It
didn't
happen
two
years
ago,
and
so
it's
been
a
little
while,
since
any
of
those
salaries
were
adjusted,
so
we
have
proposed
an
adjustment
based
on
that
research.
Comparing
to
what
other
cities
provide,
comparing
to
cost
of
living
and
other
things
in
boston,
what
would
be
reasonable
salaries,
given
that
those
have
not
been
changed
in
a
number
of
years?
That
does
include
the
elected
officials,
but
the
elected
officials
are
different
in
that.
C
Should
this
be
voted
on
and
passed,
the
salaries
for
those
who
are
not
elected
officials
would
take
effect
actually
retroactively.
Starting
august
1st,
because
again
there
haven't
been
increases
in
a
while
for
elected
officials,
because
it
would
be
a
conflict
of
interest
to
vote
on
our
own
salaries
in
the
middle
of
you
know,
giving
yourself
a
raise.
Those
would
not
take
effect
until
after
the
next
election.
So
two
years
later,
for
or
after,
let's
see
january
2024
for
city
council
and
then
january
2026
for
the
next
mayor.
C
Yeah,
we
are
counting
down
the
days
until
this
unprecedented
shutdown
happens.
It's
incredibly
stressful
for
families
all
across
boston
and
everyone
trying
to
get
to
the
start
of
school
and
and
to
work
and
to
child
care.
Pickup
and
never
should
have
gotten
to
this
point,
but
we
are
where
we
are
and
we
need
major
fixes
on
the
tee.
C
Our
team
at
the
city
has
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
mbta
almost
every
hour
on
the
plans
for
where
the
buses
that
will
substitute
for
the
orange
line,
we'll
pick
up,
drop
off
how
we
can
make
space
for
people
to
get
on
efficiently
how
we
can,
how
we're
creating
multilingual
signage
and
materials.
So
people
know
where
to
go
know
what
the
options
are
and
we're
putting
a
special
focus
on
the
boston
public
schools,
how
to
get
our
young
people
and
educators
to
school
who
rely
on
the
orange
line.
B
The
teen
academy,
students
on
what
the
mayor
said
about
the
orange
line,
any
of
you
that
ride
the
orange
line
be
careful
watch
out
for
everybody
at
the
bus
stops,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
people
on
the
street
watch
out
for
the
elderly,
so
there'll
be
more
buses.
School
buses,
mbta
shuttle
buses
in
place
of
the
orange
line,
be
careful
out
there
on
your
way
to
school
and
watch
out
for
your
fellow
students
and
any
other
citizen
on
the
roadway.
Thank
you.
