The Professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics of North Carolina represent full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics and is a Chartered State Association of the International Association of Fire Fighters. We are the only statewide fire/EMS service organization representing professional fire fighters and paramedics at the North Carolina Legislature and before numerous state agencies. Currently, there are approximately 3000 members, and more than 35 PFFPNC affiliate locals in the state. PFFPNC is working to organize more locals into the IAFF this coming year. PFFPNC is one of the most active lobbying organizations in Raleigh.

The mission of PFFPNC is to (1) be an advocate in the North Carolina State Capitol by representing city and county fire and rescue services as a whole, (2) inform and educate our members in order to place them on a higher plane of professionalism, and (3) encourage and promote mutual assistance between all paid professional fire fighters and EMS services.

PFFPNC will continue to work for benefits and to improve the safety of professional fire fighters and paramedics across the state whether the need is in legislature or state agencies. We strive to pull all fire fighters and paramedics in the state together to build the IAFF’s political strength and in the future become even more affective for our members in North Carolina.
