Alaskan Fire Departments have struggled with recruitment and retention due to no retirement security. Add in increasing call volume, flat staffing, and working 56-80
hours a week and those issues grow exponentially.
Jun 13
Despite steadily rising call volumes, the number of firefighters employed by the Municipality of Anchorage has not changed, and firefighters say they are straining to avoid burnout and excessive wear and tear on their bodies. adn.com/alaska-news/anchorag…

Our state is losing qualified and highly trained employees to other states with a dignified retirement. HB-78 is the solution to that problem. adn.com/opinions/2026/04/12/…

Studies show that inappropriate staffing levels lead to more injuries for firefighters, higher costs to the community and overall increases in burnout. adn.com/alaska-news/anchorag…

Politics is, and will always be, the avenue through which we secure critical improvements in health, safety, wages, hours, and benefits. We must engage in politics if we are to continue advancing the well-being of firefighters, their families, and all workers in the labor

Thank you, APDEA and IAFF Local 1264, for calling out Americans For Prosperity - Alaska's hypocrisy.
AFP wants to defund police retirement. That is anti-public safety. #PensionsForPublicService

🔥 #Firefighters protecting @Boeing save the company billions a year in insurance costs but are paid 30% less than those in nearby departments.

It has been a long week for our brothers and sisters in @boeingFFs
#boeing needs to return to negotiating and not intimidation
Firefighters LOCKED OUT They wanted to keep working
IMPACT -Little/no wage or benefits for their families
Increased work load on TAX PAYER surrounding fire service
LESS SAFE working conditions for airline manufacturing
BETTER PROFITS for @Boeing
and still taking TAX BREAKS
