Mahalo to our brothers and sisters on Honolulu for hosting this week’s 10th District Conference! We appreciate the hospitality and the chance to share important updates from our great union.

Augie and Bear deserved better.
Newark fire fighters deserve better.
Newark residents deserve better.

It's time for #Newark to prioritize staffing and training to keep its city – and its fire fighters – safe.

💪 Our unity is our strength, and we will not waver in our fight for a better future for IAFF members.

#UnionStrong #Solidarity #OurIAFF

It's simple: Staffing matters.

Rail accidents are dangerous for train crews, responding fire fighters, and surrounding communities.

Requiring a second crew member aboard freight trains is an important step in keeping everyone safe.

Happy Easter!

Captain Ronnie Metcalf, a beloved member of Lexington Local 3064, tragically succumbed to injuries today that were sustained while bravely fighting a fire on 3/26. Please keep Captain Metcalf’s loved ones in your thoughts & prayers. PFFPNC International Association of Fire Fighters

🔥PFFNH #firefighters are focused on passing two pieces of legislation: one that would create a pilot program to provide cancer screenings to career fire fighters and another that would encourage the use of PFAS-free fire fighter gear.

A horrific incident in Arlington, TX, as a fire fighter was shot today during a welfare check. May FF Brady Weaver make a full recovery.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🇮🇪

Politics matters.

For 7 years, their former mayor fought Houston Firefighters on paying their collectively bargained raises. Newly-elected Mayor Whitmire fixed that on Day 1.

The International Association of Fire Fighters was proud to be in the fight with our brothers & sisters. Good work Marty and Local 341!

🚨Honored to speak to my fellow firefighters at the International Association of Firefighters Legislative Conference.

While I may be the first career firefighter ever to serve in Congress, I certainly don’t want to be the last — we have plenty of talent at Miami & Dade Fire!🚒🇺🇸

What we lobby for in Washington are matters of life & death for fire fighters, emergency medical workers, and the communities we took an oath to protect. Congress may be gridlocked, but our International Association of Fire Fighters has never been stronger – and together, our voices will be heard. #LEGCON24

#LEGCON24 Day 1 packed a punch with the Vice President Kamala Harris closing out the program.

'In California I met with FFs who were putting out fires as their own homes were burning, that's the character of who you are.'

Tomorrow our members head to Capitol Hill to lobby Congress. Follow along!

This morning, I had the honor of speaking with brothers and sisters in the labor movement at the International Association of Fire Fighters's legislative conference about my support for firefighters and all working people. #UnionProud #LEGCON24

🔥When it comes to leading the fight against #PFAS in Congress and getting meaningful legislation passed Rep. Debbie Dingell is our closest ally.

Thank you for standing with #firefighters .

“Your safety on the job is non-negotiable period!” #LEGCON24

'Together at the local, state, and federal level, this International Association of Fire Fighters was able to deliver huge wins. In North Carolina, we secured presumptive cancer legislation and civil service protections for our brothers and sisters in Greensboro's Bravest and WSPFFA Local 682' -Edward A.

The NIST study confirms what we know to be true: #firefighter bunker gear is manufactured with toxic #PFAS chemicals, and it's time for those carcinogens to go.
