🔥 #OnThisDay in #IAFF history, the union hosted its first National Children’s Burn Camp in 1995 in Washington, D.C.

Funded by the IAFF Foundation, teen burn survivors and their fire fighter counselors from across the U.S. and Canada still attend the annual camp in September.

🚨 The call for action on lithium-ion battery safety is growing across Canada.

The @globeandmail Editorial Board is urging policymakers to close regulatory gaps as fires involving e-bikes, e-scooters, and other battery-powered devices become more common.

🙏 For 50 years, IAFF General Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus Thomas Miller built a legacy rooted in service, leadership, and a commitment to helping others.

Tommy said he wanted to be remembered as someone who helped people. Across nearly five decades of service to our union, he did exactly that – improving the lives of countless fire fighters, retirees, and their families.

He went on to serve as president of the Professional Firefighters Union of Indiana, IAFF 8th District Vice President, and General Secretary-Treasurer from 2010 until his retirement in 2016.

🙏 The IAFF is saddened to announce the passing of General Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus Thomas H. “Tommy” Miller.

A second-generation fire fighter, Navy veteran, and lifelong union leader, Tommy served 37 years with the Indianapolis Fire Department.

September is #NationalRecoveryMonth and #SuicidePreventionMonth.

The demands of the job can have lasting effects on fire fighters and emergency medical workers. No member should have to face those challenges alone.
