[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

29 Days. No Pay. No Excuse.
We guard bases, and lives.
Congress guards its own paycheck.
If we fail, people die.
If you fail, we suffer.
This isn’t gridlock—it’s betrayal.

@IAFFPresident Emergency Service at Fort Myer is already planning for Furlough type reductions in hours to prevent overtime. If that's happening to them, what happens to us?

Reduced staffing? Cuts to pay if our in tour overtime is cut? Let's work together with the DVP and get ahead of this.

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

@IAFFPresident Well, Mr. GP, I think the Army Federal Fire is going to need help from us (Joint Council and IAFF). The current threat set to take effect on Aug 1 is the cancelation of all overtime.

It is unclear if this overtime means our 38 hours of in tour OT or if it's just over 144hrs.

@RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepScottPerry Firefighters pull shifts and still do the Union work. We are a unique bunch also. Do you know how many calls I take at home? As do most of my colleagues.

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

The following bills are aimed at crippling Federal Unions, especially Firefighters.

H.R.1210���Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallets Act of 2025. 
H.R.2174 - Paycheck Protection Act.

The Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council announces our endorsement for @KamalaHarris in the 2024 presidential election.

We believe she is the only choice for Labor. Trump is dangerous for working people

@UDSHealth @IAFFofficial @nashuafire Thank you, Ray and Sue, for making last night in DC possible. I think it was a huge success and has peaked a lot of interest.

Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. Here are a few things you can do to prevent Cancer in your station.

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

Federal Fire Fighters need a hand keeping a bill that grants early detection for cancer as part of our physicals. The language is in the House version of the NDAA. We need @SASCDems and @SASCGOP to adopt Sec 706. @SenatorJackReed is the chiar. @RIFIREFIGHTERS can you help?

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Today I introduced the PFAS Alternatives Act because firefighters’ jobs are dangerous enough without the added risk of exposure to harmful PFAS in their turnout gear. They deserve gear that keeps them safe as they put their lives on the line to protect us. https://t.co/eniDnGWOOf

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

We closed 2022 with wins for federal fire fighters and momentum in our fight to remove #PFAS from our gear and our communities. More in yesterday’s interview with Tom Temin of @FederalNewsNet…

Thanks @RepDebDingell for speaking on behalf of the PFAS Act.

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Firefighters across the country are often exposed to toxic PFAS chemicals in firefighting foams & PPE as they work to keep us safe.

Today, we’re sending the PFAS Act to @POTUS to protect our frontline emergency responders from these toxic chemicals & minimize the spread of PFAS.

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

Great news in #iafffedfire world. The First Responder Fair Retire Act (HR521/S129) has passed both house and is expected to be signed by the President soon.

Thanks to @RepConnolly and @SenatorTester for being the Champoins on this bill.

@GOPLeader That's not entirely true. The @iaffofficial and @FedFireJC and @IAFFLeg had a plan for several items to pass in the NDAA then your @virginiafoxx blocked our cancer coverage. Pretty sure we ever talked to you about this.

@IAFFFederal

#iafffedfire

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

The @IAFFofficial and @IAFFLeg attempted to talk to @virginiafoxx today in an effort to keep our Cancer coverage in the NDAA and she REFUSED.

Shame on you Ms. Foxx. Remember, we are Firefighters, we will continue to fight for what we deserve.

@HouseGOP @GOPLeader

[Federal Fire Fighters Joint Council @FedFireJC]

Look, on Saturday @virginiafoxx thanked us for our service, Monday she threw us down by not allowing or Cancer Coverage through. Great job Congresswoman Foxx, you single handedly killed cancer presumptions for federal firefighters.

@virginiafoxx slams door on Federal Firefighter Cancer coverage in the 11th hour, a coverage that Firefighters in her own state enjoy. Don't be that person.

We need your help and Fast, like today. We need GOP Support from @SASCGOP to adopt language from HR 7900 Sec 387 into the Senate version. @SenateGOP help us provide adequate staffing to our military communities.
