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.

🔥INDIANA NEW MEMBERS!
