With Governor Cooper's signature of the bipartisan state budget, the Fire Fighters Fighting Cancer Act of 2021 is enacted!

Thank you to our #ncga leaders: Reps @DestinHall @JohnBellNC @JasonSaine97th @JonHardister @NCHouseSpeaker and Sens @ToddJohnsonNC35 @JamesPerryNC.

Soon, North Carolina will have the most comprehensive cancer coverage in the country. Thank you, #ncga.

[PFFPNC @PFFPNC]

A great State of the Union speech from President Scott Mullins. COVID punched everyone in the mouth but we kept fighting for cancer PTSD legislation. We've added three new locals, grew membership and are working to train our members to be political leaders. #PFFPNC2021Convention

[PFFPNC @PFFPNC]

#FFpresumptivecancer IS LONG OVERDUE FOR NC FF’s!!!!! It’s time for @MyNCSenate @NCSenateDems @NCLeg @NC_Governor to put this into LAW and take care of us FF’s for once!! #onlystatewithoutit #dowhatsright #firstinflightlastinbenefits @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk

PFFPNC President Scott Mullins (@mullins_pffpnc) wrote a letter to @ncdhhs @SecMandyCohen requesting her department prioritize firefighters in tier 1A for #COVID19Vaccine.

NC firefighters are first on scene for COVID medical calls and should be considered health care workers.

[Scott Mullins @mullins_pffpnc]

North Carolina will soon be the only state without cancer coverage for FireFighters. Don’t blame @NCHouseDems or @NCHouseGOP, they passed legislation unanimously. @MyNCSenate & @MikeCausey2020 were against presumptive cancer legislation for @ncfirefighters last session. @PFFPNC

Rest easy Chief! Our prayers are with our brothers and sisters in Clayton.

#HurricaneIsaias is headed for NC. We remind you the Professional Fire Fighters of NC Charitable Fund helps firefighters adversely affected by the storm.

It’s also a great organization to give a tax-deductible donation to make that work possible.

NC’s firefighters appreciate the time Sen @JamesPerryNC gave to the PFFPNC Executive Board this morning.

The #NCGA faces a $4.2 billion shortfall this year because of #COVID__19 and the economic shutdown.

Our thoughts and prayers to our brothers across the River.

[NHC_Local 4576 @nhcpffa]

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our brother, Engineer Michael Stanley. Michael was such a genuine and influential firefighter, and made a tremendous impact on us all. He will be greatly missed. We pray for his family during this hard time. Rest easy brother.

To the paramedics, firefighters and police officers, first lines of defense against this virus, you go into situations not knowing what you will encounter, risking your own health and safety. This is true in all times, but especially now. A nation is grateful for your service.

[Vinnie Messina @VinnieMessina]

Providing #presumptive #COVID19 care is proof that your 1st responders & the public’s health are priority
It’s our job to keep the public safe, it’s your job to keep us safe
Leaving us to the mercy of insurance companies is #abandonment #NCPol

[Scott Mullins @mullins_pffpnc]

Our members in New Hanover & Brunswick Counties we’re in desperate need of adequate PPE. The @PFFPNC answered the call by locating, purchasing, & sending masks that’ll keep our members and the patients they’re treating safe.@PFFNC_ChrtblFnd @IAFFNewsDesk @TimBoyumTV @wectnews

[Vinnie Messina @VinnieMessina]

Firefighters/EMS shouldn’t worry whether their employer will support them if they become infected w #COVID19 Save the hollow thank yous & commit to protecting those that protect everyone #TYFYS doesn’t help any of us #Tests & #presumptive should be minimum @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk

[Scott Mullins @mullins_pffpnc]

Always love a good fire department flow chart. @AFFA332 @PennyCupCo
