Just send us a story, a picture, or both. It can be about anything that is going on in your local or general information that has something to do with unionism or being a firefighter (union event or of fire, rescue or EMS incidents involving local members) and we will publish it on the web and/or magazine.
Please share your experiences with us by following these guidelines:
Communicating With Us
Include your name, complete mailing address, telephone number, and email address on everything you email or postal mail us including the back of each color print photograph. We need this information to contact you about your article and keep track of the materials.
Writing Your Article
If you ARE comfortable with using a computer and email, please either write the story directly in an email, or create it in Microsoft Word and attach this file along with your digital pictures (JPEG format) in the email and send it to us at: tchesney@mpff.org.
If you ARE NOT comfortable using a computer and email, please legibly write your story on 8 1/2 by 11 inch notebook paper, include your color print photographs, and postal mail these items to us at this address (MPFFU, 1651 Kingsway Court, Suite E, Trenton, MI 48183-1959).
Photos!
We prefer digital photographs. However, we accept professionally developed color prints. High-resolution digital photos SHOULD be taken at a minimum of 1600 x 1200 resolution submitted in JPEG format, and sent either via email or on a CD/DVD. The higher the resolution the better for us even if the file size is very large. We can't use digital photos that are lower than 640 x 480 resolution.

Include a self-addressed envelope if you would like your materials returned to you.
