Firecareers.com has always acted as a representative of future firefighters. We have taken on many issues with City's and County's over the years to make sure that the way firefighters are hired is both fair and ethical. Since 1982 we have taken pride in being a part (silent part) of the fire service in the United States. This means we receive no funding from the government and we are not guided by their views. Our association is more in line with the views of labor and the International Association of Fire Fighters.
I am a member of the I.A.F.F. local 1684 and I find what communities are doing by laying off firefighters absolutely appalling. When I started my fire service career we worked with four members assigned to the companies. Now only our Truck Company has a staffing level of four. All of our engines are running with three members and the thought of laying off a single firefighter is unacceptable.
All laid off Firefighters are eligible for a FREE subscription to our service for a period of 12 months.
