Today is Election Day.

Regardless of the final result on Proposition 310, our campaign left it all on the field. Our thanks to one and all for a truly statewide effort that connected with hundreds of thousands of Arizona voters.

We stand grateful to every fire fighter and paramedic who pounded a sign or chatted with a voter.

Every chief who spoke out about the mission-critical need for more resources, more personnel, more vehicles and more training.

Every citizen who stood up for public safety in Arizona's 144 fire districts.

And every fire service leader who worked for years to get this measure on the ballot in a bipartisan effort of elected leaders and the profession.

We are hopeful. We are determined. And we are very proud.

Thank you. ... See MoreSee Less

The inception of the PFFA came about as a successor to the Arizona State Firemen’s Association, which was founded in 1924. During that time, Tucson Chief Joseph Roberts was the head of the Firemen’s Association. Interestingly enough, activists in that original organization were mostly chiefs and the organization was open to all firefighters, professional and volunteer. One key activist in the AFSA was Phoenix Deputy Chief, Jake Siken.
