Ithaca Professional Firefighters Association

The Ithaca Professional Firefighters Association proudly represents the 68 professional firefighters who serve the City of Ithaca and surrounding community. Our members are dedicated public servants who respond when people need help most—protecting lives, property, and the safety of our neighbors every day.

Our work goes far beyond responding to fires. Ithaca firefighters answer calls involving medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, hazardous conditions, rescues, and countless other situations where skill, teamwork, and compassion are essential. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of training, professionalism, and readiness so we can continue providing the community with the dependable emergency services it deserves.

As a labor organization, the Union advocates for the rights, safety, and well-being of its members while working to strengthen the fire service as a whole. We believe that supporting our firefighters directly supports the community they serve. Safe working conditions, proper staffing, modern equipment, and ongoing training are essential not only for our members, but for the safety of every resident and visitor in Ithaca.

We are proud to be part of the Ithaca community and remain committed to service, professionalism, solidarity, and protecting those who protect others.
