🔥 “Any standard governing the gear we put on every day must make #firefighter health and safety its highest priority. If we aren’t able to do this dangerous job as safely as possible, the communities we serve suffer," said #IAFF General President Edward Kelly. "Industry special interest groups have long profited from putting us in gear that makes us sick. That’s why the IAFF was in Orlando, ensuring that our concerns were taken seriously while also demonstrating our commitment to this zero-fail mission.”
