Firefighters First Credit Union celebrates its 80th Anniversary.


LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – As the trusted provider of premier financial services to its fire family, Firefighters First Credit Union is proud to celebrate its 80th Anniversary.

Founded on November 16, 1935, the Credit Union’s journey began at the depth of the great depression above Fire Station 28 in downtown Los Angeles. A few senior firemen pooled their money in an old cigar box, to help younger firefighters in need. This common bond created personal and trusting relationships, which became the foundation for the Credit Union. Within the first 13 months of operation, the Credit Union had reached $90,000 in assets and had over 800 members.

To recognize this important milestone, the Credit Union began its celebration early. In fact, the celebration began 80 days prior to its anniversary day of November 16. Festivities included in-branch appreciation days and online prize giveaways. Exclusive social media campaigns provided members with the opportunity to share photos, meet at off-site locations, and more. The celebration was capped off with festivities at each of its branch locations with a catered lunch and awarding of a $5,000 vacation sweepstakes.
  
According to Mike Mastro, Firefighters First CU President/CEO, “I am honored to have worked with our very special firefighter members for over 35 years. Through their loyalty, we’ve been allowed to hold true to our 80-year legacy of improving the financial lives of our Fire Family.”

While the Credit Union has grown over the years, its focus and dedication to the Fire Family remains unwavering. The Credit Union is focused on delivering legendary service for each member and it shows in its member satisfaction scores. Differentiated through member ease of use, and a trusted financial adviser, they know their members interests & needs and provide that personal touch that firefighters appreciate. Add to that no fees, profit sharing and an exclusive membership.

With a strong fire community alignment, they are able to  provide investment services, insurance service and small business banking. Plus, they are able to give back to the fire community through our charitable hand of Fire Family Foundation.
