Any full-time, paid employees engaged in firefighting and/or emergency medical or rescue service activities are eligible for membership in the International Association of Fire Fighters.
How membership works
To become an active member of the IAFF, an individual must join or organize a chartered IAFF Local union.
If an IAFF Local already represents your department or agency, you may be eligible to join that Local.
If your workplace is not currently represented by the IAFF, you may be eligible to organize and affiliate with the IAFF.
