Below you'll find the most expansive, accurate, and up to date list of IAFF Locals found on the Internet. It is derived from a myriad of sources by our own Local. However it is NOT, and probably NEVER WILL BE, complete. New IAFF Locals are developing sites each month. Other established sites are revolving continuously; moving to more stable hosts or taking on more comfortable URL's.

Frontline on Facebook"The records of Scott Walker and his cronies in the Senate who are now up for recall are clear – they eliminated the rights of workers, they refused to work cooperatively to resolve issues that will benefit the citizens and they created a fake budget crisis by giving away tax dollars to their corporate donors." - Harold Schaitberger, IAFF General President
"Maybe extremist politicians who try to take advantage of a tough economic time for our country by targeting the basic core values and rights of those who work for a living will finally start to work toward real solutions that move this country forward through cooperation and bipartisanship, because that's what the American people want and that's what this vote reinforced," - IAFF President, Harold Schaitberger
"...the International Association of Fire Fighters [...] is first and foremost about the health and safety of firefighters in the United States, not wages and benefits.They lobby for federal grants that provide adequate staffing levels and much needed equipment, including fire trucks and gear. Thanks to their efforts, Congress created a section in the CDC that investigates firefighter deaths in order to prevent future fatalities. I am proud to be a part of an organization that works to protect those who protect others." - Mike Whited, Firefighter - Muncie, IN
“The battles labor won over the years not only
raised the standards of labor but for everyone. The
other side has declared war on labor’s house and it’s
about time we stand up and understand it for what it is.
They’re reopening fights we thought we settled fifty
years ago.
The middle class is under attack, but labor is under the
most direct assault in a generation! Without organized
labor the fight for working America is lost. You are the
only non-governmental power that has the power and the
capacity to stop this onslaught. Without you there,
there is no restraint." - Vice President
Joe Biden
"...I hope the next time there are negotiations between the city and the firefighters, the “powers that be” will remember this hot, dry time. Our firefighters are stretched to their limits physically and mentally trying to keep us safe. On any given day, especially during this drought, you will see fire trucks racing to save property and lives. Most of us can stay in our cool homes or businesses, but these heroes must be out in the heat to fight hot, nasty fires that threaten our cool homes and businesses. These fire personnel should be thanked by being paid well. Also, if you see one, tell him/her “thank you.” - IVANELL MEEK, Norman Citizen.
