It's more than a job. It's a calling. ππ₯
Louisiana firefighters don't just respond to emergencies, they show up for their communities every single day, beyond the call and beyond the uniform.

To our members -- Please see the following message from the IAFF OSH committee regarding critical failure of safety equipment.
We were recently notified of a PPE integrated escape harness failure that occurred during training. The harness in question was constructed from Kevlar webbing. The State Fire Marshal is working with the manufacturer to do an investigation. The webbing isnβt unique to this turnout manufacturer as the webbing is used in more than one turnout companyβs harnesses.
Do any of you have experience with harnesses integrated into turnout pants?
If so, have you experienced any failures of this kind?
What procedures are involved for care and maintenance?
Any info you can provide would be helpful as this appears to be an isolated incident, but we donβt want to dismiss the issue if there is more investigation to be done.
Please notify Chad Major if your department has encountered this.

What a month it's been. π₯
From advocacy across every corner of Louisiana, to firefighter wellness, community partnerships, and raising awareness about cancer risks, June was a month of real impact. None of it happens without your support.
Thank you for standing behind Louisiana's bravest. π

The hazards don't end when the fire does. ποΈ
Studies show firefighters face elevated cancer risks from occupational chemical exposure, and that's exactly why screening programs and prevention efforts aren't optional. They're lifesaving.
Know the risk. Get screened. Protect your future.

For more than 80 years, our fire fighters have proudly served their communities in their efforts to save lives and protect property. By contributing and receiving your supporter decal, you are helping us save lives. Although more than 4000 fire fighters are members of the PFFALA, our programs benefit every fire fighter and every resident in the state. By helping us, you are supporting the men and women who make Louisiana a safer place to live and raise our families. As fire fighters, we realize that we may need to go beyond the call of duty. That is a call we proudly rise to answer.
