💪 #Unions make a difference, and we never stop fighting for YOU – the fire fighters and emergency medical workers on the frontlines.
✔️ Workers' Health and Safety
✔️ Fair Pay
✔️ Strong Benefits
✔️ Dignified Retirements
👷♀️👨🚒 Happy #LaborDay to all our #IAFF members!
Understaffed departments don't just endanger #firefighters – they put entire communities at risk.
That’s why @MPFFU is calling for 4 fire fighters per company – the safest, fastest, & most effective way to handle emergencies.

@sz8ng You guys have created the cleanest most user friendly Defi experience I’ve seen for the Cardano ecosystem. Loving the work, updates and innovation!
Glad our members from T13 are safe. Thank you @MayorBowser@councilofdc for always funding our quality fire apparatus. We require stainless steel cab design for a reason. The stronger metal is safer in a collision, and today we learned it stops bullets too.
⚖️ Justice served in Harrodsburg, KY.
Two Local 5418 members fired for union organizing & raising safety concerns won $1M in damages – thanks to strong legal advocacy & the IAFF Guardian Policy.
Retaliation has no place in the fire service. 🔥✊

Hundreds of #AustinTX fire fighters rallied outside City Hall today with a clear message: 4-person crews save lives.
The proposed budget calling for cutting the number of FFs on each company is reckless — and the City Council must ensure Austin keeps 4 FFs for everyone’s safety.
Four-person crews ensure fires are extinguished faster and occupants are rescued more quickly during emergencies.
This is the nationally recognized minimum staffing standard for a reason - it keeps the public and FFs safe.
It’s what Fall River - and all communities - deserve.
Have reports of an ongoing situation involving officers from Whitehall & CPD being shot at by a barricaded individual. At this time, officers have not returned fire, & it appears the incident may be related to a mental health crisis.
This remains an active & dangerous scene.
In no civilized nation should firefighters be targets for violence.
Our prayers are with the loved ones of John Morrison Jr. & Frank Harwood, and with their brothers and sisters on the job.
We’re also praying for Dave Tysdal, who remains hospitalized.

While responding to a fire earlier today in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, IAFF members were ambushed in a heinous act of violence. Two of our brothers were killed by a sniper, and a third brother remains in surgery.
Please keep them, their families, and law enforcement in your prayers.
@IAFFofficial helping us amplify our message, our @IAFFPresident leading wherever the fight is. Thanks to @IsabelCleary for her work bringing this story to others!
🚑🚒🔥 A #fire engine shortage is straining #firefighters already stressed with increasing call volumes.
@iaffpresident: “Not only are the #firefighters being put in jeopardy because of these delays and costs, the taxpayers are footing the bill."

Fire departments from Seattle to the Carolinas are being hit with “floating prices” and years of delays in order to get the modern trucks and engines needed to keep communities safe.
The @IAFFofficial is working to change that.
Tell us your department’s story ⤵️
Consolidation among apparatus manufacturers has led to skyrocketing costs and delays, putting lives at risk while old, unsafe equipment remains in use.
The @IAFFofficial & @econliberties is urging the @FTC and the @JusticeATR to investigate this crisis.

NEWS 🚨🔥
@IAFFPresident joined @SecretaryLCD to announce the IAFF Fire and EMS Apprenticeship Program – a new federally registered apprenticeship program with the @USDOL!

Graham Hoffman was fatally stabbed by a patient last night during a medical call. His partner was also injured. Our prayers are with their families and our @IAFFLocal42 members.
As fire fighters, we accept risk. But violence is unacceptable. We will demand accountability.
The SEC has determined that fully-reserved, liquid, dollar-backed stablecoins are not securities. Therefore blockchain transactions to mint or redeem them do not need to be registered under the Securities Act. Helpful clarity from @SECGov.
We will continue to fight unapologetically for the equipment we need- prioritizing the health and safety of our @ColumbusLocal67 members and the citizens we serve. Thanks to @IAFFPresident for always having our back #whereverthefightis
🚒❗ @columbuslocal67 is sounding the alarm on a growing vehicle shortage that endangers the safety of #firefighters and the community.
Local 67 is calling on the city to create an emergency apparatus replacement strategy.

When a fire fighter dies from occupational cancer, we have a duty to ensure their family receives the line-of-duty death benefits they are owed.
The strong work of our leaders at #LegCon25 to lobby for the bipartisan Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act will help guarantee that.
