Dear Supporter,
Thank you for signing the petition to increase firefighter pay in Clarksville. Your voice matters—and your support sends a powerful message: our firefighters deserve fair, competitive compensation for the vital work they do.
Here’s how you can take action today:
Email your City Council representative (contacts listed below).
Let them know that our firefighters, who are essential to public safety, are among the lowest paid in Middle Tennessee. With the 2026 city budget being finalized by June 30, now is the time to speak up.
Make a quick phone call to their office. A short, respectful call can go a long way in reinforcing how important this issue is.
Share this message with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Encourage them to email or call their council member today.
Why this matters:
Clarksville firefighters start at around $44,000 per year—well below what other departments in our region pay.
They’re facing increased living costs, growing call volumes, and ongoing understaffing. Many are leaving for better opportunities elsewhere.
If we want a strong, reliable fire department, the City must invest in our firefighters now.
Thank you again for standing with us. Together, we can make a difference and ensure Clarksville truly supports those who serve and protect our community every day.
With gratitude,
Clarksville Fire Fighters Association, Local 3180
