One year ago, the WEP/GPO – two of the most unjust penalties on America’s retirees – were repealed. The @IAFFofficial proudly led the fight to ensure fire fighters, cops, teachers, and other dedicated public workers receive the Social Security benefits they earned and paid into.

Merry Christmas! And to our members working today across the United States and Canada, thank you!

With @RepLaLota, someone who always has the backs of fire fighters and was a persistent ally in the @IAFFofficial’s efforts to pass the Honor Act. Thank you, Congressman!

🔥🚨The IAFF-backed Honor Act has passed the U.S. Senate, finally recognizing occupational cancer as a line-of-duty death. Working with Republicans, Democrats, and President Trump, the Honor Act ensures families of our fallen are no longer left behind. iaff.org/news/senate-pa…

The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker announced the line of duty death of Firefighter Patrick Brady. The 42-year-old served our great Department for 11 years.  On Saturday, November 8th, Firefighter Brady was operating on the roof of a fire at 9407 Kings Highway in Brooklyn when he went into cardiac arrest. FDNY Firefighters and EMS quickly moved to treat Brady. He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center where he passed away.  Firefighter Brady was appointed to the FDNY on July 14, 2014. After graduating from the Fire Academy, he was assigned to Engine 227 in Brooklyn, before transferring to Ladder 120 in 2022.    Firefighter Brady is the 1,163rd member of the FDNY to die in the line-of-duty. The last member of the Department to die in the line of duty was Paramedic Salih Abdur Rahman. Funeral arrangements are pending.

@IAFFPresident @Iaff1stDVP @NYSPFFA Any comments on IAFF members volunteering for the departments that are now splitting up the fishers fire district while 26 union members are getting laid off and looking for work??

Safety starts with fully-staffed fire departments. So it makes NO SENSE to shut down the one protecting the Town of Victor's 16,000 residents. Tell the Fishers Fire District: This plan puts lives at risk. @IAFF_4907 @Iaff1stDVP @NYSPFFA iaff.org/news/the-fight…

Today marks 24 years since the tragic Father’s Day Fire. On June 17, 2001, Firefighters Harry Ford, Brian Fahey, and John Downing made the Supreme Sacrifice when an explosion caused a building collapse in Queens. We remember their bravery and honor their legacy. Never Forget.

Happy #FlagDay! 🇺🇸 Today is an opportunity to honor the values our flag embodies — freedom, unity, and patriotism.
