PHILADELPHIA — Sirens are sounding for Sen. Bob Casey’s campaign in Pennsylvania, where the firefighters’ union in deep-blue Philly is ditching the incumbent Democrat and endorsing GOP Senate hopeful Dave McCormick instead.

The union, International Association of Fire Fighters Local 22, is based in the city’s industrial Northern Liberties neighborhood and represents more than 4,500 firefighters, paramedics and EMTs.

Union leaders announced the nod at a press conference with McCormick Wednesday, and explained their decision not to back Casey after endorsing him in his three previous bids for Senate.

“Our endorsement decision wasn’t made lightly,” said Local 22 President Mike Bresnan, who noted a big factor in their decision was Casey’s absence from their communities.

“This election was the first time we ever met Senator Casey in all his years in office,” Bresnan said.

McCormick — who was joined at the presser by potential future colleague Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) — thanked the union and vowed to always show up for its members if elected.
