β˜€οΈπŸ”₯ πŸ₯΅ The forecast isn’t just hot – it’s dangerous.

Extreme heat is sweeping across North America ahead of the #July4th weekend, raising the risk of heat-related emergencies.

IAFF Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dan Whu is sharing some tips that can help save lives.

πŸš’ Fire departments across North America are waiting years – not months – for new fire trucks while costs continue to soar.

Fire fighters are fighting back.

The IAFF is working to document the full impact of this crisis & hold manufacturers accountable.

This year, it falls just days after three #wildland fire fighters were killed in the line of duty.

We honor their sacrifice and all those who have given their lives in service.
