Great news for our fire districts! Big time thanks to all of those involved in this effort! Just gotta get this thing across the finish line now by educating our citizens and spreading the word before ballot time!
Thank you for your hard work. This can help more than 130 fire districts, with over 4,000 trained personnel, who protect roughly 1,500,000 million Arizona residents.

Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System is producing tremendous results for first responders.
PSPRS leadership has traveled and Zoomed across the state for the past two years educating counties and municipalities about taking advantage of lower interest rates to pay down pension debt (which works like refinancing your house to save money).
PSPRS has worked with employers to pay down more than $3 billion in pension debt in that time. Add to that a record year for investment returns: 27.8% last year after fees, which equates to a gain of another $3.1 billion.
Pensions & Investments recently released its annual 1,000 Largest Retirement Plans report, which shows that PSPRS assets under management grew at a rate of 44 percent during the last fiscal year, to reach $16.1 billion.
That 44% growth rate exceeded the growth of all public pensions in the top 200 of the largest 1,000 U.S. retirement plans.
Here's PSPRS Administrator Mike Townsend on Horizon in early May discussing this incredible performance.

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.
