We are disappointed Representatives Buck and Boebert voted against Federal Firefighter cancer protections after very productive conversations with them both. We had hoped they would be part of this historic legislation. #firefightersfirst iaff.org/news/cancer-protect…

The #USHouse just passed our legislation to provide automatic benefits for federal fire fighters battling cancer! Now we turn to the Senate to take up the bill and send it to @POTUS. Thanks @RepCarbajal and @RepDonBacon #FireFightersFirst iaff.org/news/cancer-protect…

I sat down with IAFF and @NFFE_Union members in LA to share some good news: @USDOL's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs launched a streamlined claims process for federal firefighters that will make it easier to file for the benefits they deserve: bit.ly/3xEVuOZ
