The Professional Fire Fighters of Georgia protect and advance the interests of career firefighters employed by the cities and counties of the Peach State. Comprised of local affiliates of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the PFFG work with governing bodies at the state and local level to improve the health and safety, compensation and benefits of Georgia's fire service professionals.
The PFFG engages in many charitable and benevolent activities to care for firefighters and their families who have been killed, disabled or injured on the job. We support burn foundations that care for firefighters and citizens who have suffered devastating burn injuries, as well as educating children and the public on fire safety.
