International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)

🔥 The #IAFF emphasizes its commitment to the safety and well-being of #firefighters during #SafetyStandDownWeek. The week aims to enhance fire fighters' performance and help them serve their communities more efficiently. This year’s theme, "Fire Training: Back to Basics," highlights the essential principles of fire department training. These include mentorship, #goalsetting, and effective fire ground #training techniques. Use this online resource as a guide to help better prepare you and other IAFF members to respond to emergencies.

👏 VICTORY! 🙌 The #IAFF is proud to stand with Palo Alto, CA Local 1319 and the California Professional Firefighters (CPF), to help protect the rights of workers across California. The State's 6th District Court of Appeals ruling shows the city of Palo Alto violated the local’s labor rights by failing to meet their "Meet and Confer" obligations before endorsing a ballot measure to end binding interest arbitration. The IAFF is committed to protecting #firefighters and we will continue to fight any efforts that undermine the collective bargaining process. Just another example of how when we unite - we win! #WorkersRights

🔥 This legislation will fund a massive grant program to remove aqueous film forming foams (AFFFs) – a common #PFAS-laden #firefighting foam – from use and replace it with safer PFAS-free foams. These measures will enhance safety at our nation's airports for fire fighters and the traveling public. 👏 #PFAS #firefighters #jobsafety
