The
International Association of Fire Fighters was formed to achieve the following
objectives: To organize all fire fighters and emergency medical or rescue
workers; to secure just compensation for their services and equitable settlement
of their grievances; to promote as safe and healthy a working environment for
fire fighters as is possible through modern technology; to promote the
establishment of just and reasonable working conditions; to place the members of
the Association on a higher plane of skill and efficiency; to promote harmonious
relations between fire fighters and their employers; to encourage the formation
of local unions, state and provincial associations and joint councils; to
encourage the formation of sick and death benefit funds; to promote the research
and treatment of burns and other related health problems common to fire
fighters; to encourage the establishment of schools of instruction for imparting
knowledge of modern and improved methods of fire fighting and prevention; and to
cultivate friendship and fellowship among its members."
