The International Association of Fire Fighters includes more than 2,700 affiliated organizations representing fire fighters in more than 3,500 communities in the U.S. and Canada. The IAFF is the nation’s largest organization of “first responders.” The 263,000 members of the IAFF are the nation’s full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics, who protect the lives and property of 80 percent of the nation’s population. In addition to city and county fire fighters and emergency medical personnel, the IAFF represents state employees (such as the California Forestry fire fighters), federal workers (such as fire fighters on military installations), and fire and emergency medical workers employed at certain industrial facilities.
