Christmas Eve is a reminder of our mission.

Fire fighters show up no matter the date. That same duty drives how we prepare for 2026. Focused, disciplined engagement ensures leaders understand what it takes to protect communities safely and effectively.

Grateful for the fire fighters on duty tonight.

As 2025 wraps up, states show bipartisan gains on fire fighter health and safety, but growing labor policy shifts deserve close attention. State legislative changes to bargaining and workplace rules can carry real long term risk if left unchecked heading into 2026.

Just want to send a “thank you” to the Republicans and Democrats who stood with fire fighters this year. When it came to our health, safety, retirement security, and protecting those who protect the public, you delivered. Public safety is not partisan. #FireFighters #PublicSafety #Bipartisan #IAFF

[Scott Robinson, IAFF @ScRobin_IAFF]

On the fireground, no one gets a free ride. Everyone has a job because everyone’s safety depends on it. Our union works the same way.

Participation is not about parties. It’s about protecting fire fighters, our families, and our profession. When we show up together, we win. When we don’t, decisions get made without us.

Share the load. Answer the call. Participate.

Christmas Day. Standing the watch.

To our IAFF brothers and sisters working today, thank you for showing up when it matters most. Your sacrifice is seen.

To the families holding it together at home, we see you too. This job does not happen without you.

Advocating for fire fighters means more than showing up. It is building policy, moving legislation, and pushing IAFF priorities through Congress and the Administration to protect those who protect others.

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

Violence against fire fighters and paramedics puts everyone at risk.

That's why the @IAFFofficial is calling for changes to Canada’s Criminal Code to give fire fighters the same protections as police officers and transit workers.

Moving firefighter policy at the federal level is rarely fast and never accidental.

In 2025, more than 17,000 IAFF members emailed Congress on the HONOR Act. Combined with GP leadership and a relentless Government Affairs and Political team opening doors on Capitol Hill, we moved the dial.

After 18 months, the HONOR Act was included in the NDAA for final passage. Many PSOB presumptions take 6–8 years. This one didn’t.

Participation matters.

For decades, Jackson, MS Local 87 has been without a collectively bargained contract.

Not anymore.

Local 87 and city leaders agree that a stronger fire service means a safer Jackson for residents and fire fighters. Their new contract helps deliver on that promise.

Listen to the President of the Int'l Association of Fire Fighters who represents nearly 360,000 fire fighters. Every member of Congress needs to hear his testimony —>

"[The fire truck industry] is facing a crisis across the country that's been building for more than 20 years."
