Welcome
The New Orleans Fire Fighters Association, founded in 1939, is a Labor Union affiliated with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF Local 632) and the AFL-CIO.
According to our Constitution “The object of this Local shall always be, first and primary, dedicated to raising the dignity of our profession. It shall promote by proper means the material and intellectual welfare of all its members. Finally, this Local shall continually strive for the raising of both the working and living standards of all its members.”
We are the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for Fire Fighters, Fire Operators, Fire Captains and Fire Prevention Inspector at the New Orleans Fire Department.
In accordance with our Object, we are always accepting donations to improve the welfare of our members and their families through our Benevolent Fund, Health and Safety programs, and Education Initiatives. Please consider giving to these causes.
Stunning documentation of a devastating 4-alarm fire that made almost 200 homeless last night. Click through to see conditions the sickeningly depleted ranks of New Orleans firefighters face after a year of increasingly frequent, larger, deadly fires. Firefighters started 2020 warning of these deficiencies in the starkest possible terms. Fire officials and City Hall told you we were lying. We will have much more on this soon. For now, please keep your fellow New Orleanians in your thoughts and help in any way you can.
This is absolutely horrible and the city should be held financially and morally responsible for the decimation of the ranks of the firefighters and the decrease in their ability two attacks these types of fires. That decrease is caused directly by the City of New Orleans cutting hiring, closing firehouses, under Manning firehouses and generally not giving the firefighters what they need to protect our beautiful city.
Greater New Orleans folks: you may donate here to the local LA Red Cross and specify for the donation to go to your local community disasters www.redcross.org/local/louisiana.html <3 Hope this helps.
