Saint  Paul Firefighters Local 21

Stronger Together.

Built on Tradition

170 Years of Service and Strength.

For over 170 years, Saint Paul Firefighters have proudly protected our city, long before Minnesota became a state. Since our union’s founding in 1917, Local 21 has fought for safer working conditions, fair wages, and the wellbeing of our members while serving our community with dedication and pride.


We fight for safer working conditions through advocacy, collective bargaining, and community support.


We secure fair wages and strong benefits to protect the livelihoods and futures of our members.


We give back to our community with events like the Gillette Children’s Carnival and support for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
