International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)

OSHA's hearing on new #firefighter safety standards is complete, but public comments are being reviewed until Jan. 17, 2025. #IAFF leaders, including General President Edward A. Kelly, stressed the need for stronger protections to keep fire fighters and emergency medical workers safe on the job.

Thanks to the support of FIREPAC and the strength of the #IAFF, our members across the United States secured major election victories in the 2024 general elections! From Nebraska to Florida to California, we’re making sure the voices of #firefighters are heard loud and clear in local and state governments.
