Fire fighter occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. From 2015-2020, 75% of the fire fighters added to the International Association of Fire Fighters Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial died from occupational cancer.

The fiscal year (FY) 2021 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program application period is now open until Friday, February 4.

Please welcome Anna Tulley to the AFFI. Anna will be interning for us this semester. She is currently a senior at Illinois State University majoring in History and Anthropology. Anna has vast service and volunteer work and comes highly recommended from her department at ISU.

During this semester she will assist the AFFI with its historical organization of the multitude of documents and artifacts we have at the office dating back to 1935.

She will ensure that they are preserved and categorized properly so that now and in the future, members can reference them with ease.

Steve Shetsky - Northern District Legislative Representative & Chuck Sullivan-AFFI President joined Senator Ram Villivalam at his event over the weekend.

We don’t need to solve each other’s problems. We just need to remind each other it is ok to have them, but work positively to be well.

$In a speech to the Illinois State AFL-CIO in 1965, King said: The two most dynamic movements that reshaped the nation during the past three decades are the labor and civil rights movements. Our combined strength is potentially enormous. We have not used a fraction of it for our own good or for the needs of society as a whole. If we make the war on poverty a total war; if we seek higher standards for all workers for an enriched life, we have the ability to accomplish it, and our nation has the ability to provide it. lf our two movements unite their social pioneering initiative, thirty years from now people will look back on this day and honor those who had the vision to see the full possibilities of modern society and the courage to fight for their realization. On that day, the brotherhood of man, undergirded by economic security, will be a thrilling and creative reality.$
