The International Association of Fire Fighters, headquartered in Washington, DC, represents full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics who protect the nation's population. Affiliates to their members protect communities in every state in the United States and in Canada. The IAFF is one of the most active lobbying organizations in Washington; its Political Action Committee, FIREPAC, is among the top one percent of the PACs in the country. In addition to city and county fire fighters and emergency medical personnel, IAFF members include state employees, federal workers and fire and emergency medical personnel employed at certain industrial facilities.
