We are a union that is proud to fight for you, your family, and your community. We support politicians and policies – regardless of party affiliation – that protect and empower the work of fire fighters, emergency medical workers, and rescue workers in the United States and Canada.
There is nothing – NOTHING – more important than the health and safety of our members. That’s why we continue to establish services and programs that are widely recognized and imitated by other organizations.
Our members are highly skilled, specialized workers. The IAFF’s training programs empower and educate you in our shared mission to make a dangerous job safer – for you, our brothers and sisters on the job, and those we protect.

Our Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial is an annual event that honors the memory of our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The Memorial is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and hosts a solemn ceremony every September.
