• Description:
  Founded in 1918, the IAFF represents over 300,000 career fire fighters, emergency medical personnel, state and federal fire fighters in the United States and Canada. Through an active Healthy, Safety, and Medicine Division and collaborations with recognized experts in the field of occupational health and safety, the IAFF has become the driving force behind nearly every safety advance in the fire and emergency services. Health and safety training curricula developed by the IAFF have been successfully implemented in fire departments across the nation, affecting 335,150 career fighters and 768,150 volunteer fire fighters in the United States. The target populations for this outreach campaign are active and retired career fire fighters and emergency medical personnel who responded to the September 11th disaster in New York City. This includes FDNY members as well as fire fighters and emergency medical personnel from fire departments outside of New York who participated in rescue/recovery operations at the World Trade Center site. This also includes IAFF members who previously enrolled in the Mount Sinai World Trade Center Medical Monitoring Program but who are no longer active participants in the program.
