The San Antonio Fire Department and the San Antonio Professional Firefighter’s Association has kicked off their annual Fill the Boot initiative.

Joe Jones, president of the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association joined the KSAT Q&A to discuss Proposition C and how it would remove salary and tenure caps for city manager.

All six proposed San Antonio Charter Amendments, including a repeal of caps on the city manager’s pay and tenure, held approval to pass.

A Venezuelan gang named Tren de Aragua has been making headlines lately in Texas.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association announced Monday, less than a month from the election, that it was officially opposing Proposition C. The proposed charter amendment, one of six on the Nov. 5 ballot, would reverse the caps that voters approved in 2018 after a union-led campaign.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association's president said there's "concentrated, increased activity" at specific apartments. He said the union issued the warning because the city hasn't given firefighters and paramedics an official heads up.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association is considering whether to turn its political influence hose on a new charter amendment campaign to undo city manager caps.

The San Antonio City Council ratified a new three-year contract with the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association, marking the first time in 15 years the two sides have successfully collaborated on a deal.

Roughly 76% of the union membership voted on the contract, which passed with 97% approval. Only 35 of the 1,363 members who cast a ballot voted against it.

Having negotiated since late March, bargaining teams for the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association shook hands on a new contract just before midnight Saturday.

Firefighter wages and overtime pay appear to be some of the biggest sticking points as the city and fire union extended their negotiations again on Tuesday.

But although the City of San Antonio and San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association appeared to make more progress in one session Monday than they had in the previous eight, they’re still far apart in terms of pay.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association proposed a series of bumps that would raise firefighter salaries 37.5% by October 2026. The city’s proposal would raise base pay 21.7% by January 2029.

With new faces at the helm of both the city and fire union, both sides are optimistic that they'll be able to bargain this time instead of battling over a new contract.

The new head of the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association hopes its battles with the City of San Antonio are behind them. The union hopes to make up lost ground on firefighter pay when contract negotiations start Thursday.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association President says his conversations with city staff indicate there's ongoing investigations into the culture inside the San Antonio Fire Department administration.

It was a victory, though, and Vic Fangio and the Denver Broncos are relieved to finally get one — no matter how it looked. Melvin Gordon sealed the Denver Broncos’ first win of the season with a 43-yard touchdown run with 1:48 remaining, and the defense made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to beat the bumbling — and still winless — New York Jets 37-28 on Thursday night. The Jets couldn’t do anything on their next possession, and Sam Darnold was sacked by Chubb on fourth-and-3 at the two-minute warning. Brian Poole intercepted Rypien, making his first NFL start, on the Broncos’ next possession, giving the Jets the ball at Denver’s 44. Jets: look for their first win when they host Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 11.
