    • Welcome
      What's New at PFFA

               

      Due to the uncertainty of what phase level Louisiana will be and not knowing if we’ll be able to congregate as a large group, we have no choice but to make the necessary decision to cancel the 2021 PFFA of Louisiana Annual Convention scheduled for February 25th – 27th.

      Protecting the health, safety and well being of our members and their families is paramount at all times to the leadership of the PFFA and especially during this Covid-19 pandemic.

      Because of the need for Legislative direction we will either have a one-day mini convention, possibly in Baton Rouge or a half day Virtual Convention utilizing a web-based meeting platform such as “GoToMeeting”. Illinois recently held their state convention in this fashion.

      We will keep you informed when we know more. In the meantime if any of you have booked rooms at the DoubleTree Kenner, Local-1427 President Mickey Giarrusso has instructed the hotel to cancel everyone associated with the room block. You should receive an email from the hotel within the next 24 hours verifying the cancellation, if you don’t you should contact the hotel to cancel your reservation.

      At the end of the year we will still collect the names of our members who have passed away in 2020 and we will honor our members from both years separately at the 2022 Convention.

       

      As the significant stress on our economy continues from the actions taken to limit the spread of COVID-19, access to funding and other resources is and will be a problem for many jurisdictions.

      There are two things you can do right now to help your local government get access to critical funding dollars going forward.

      • Push your departments and elected leaders to coordinate with local and state emergency managers to apply for disaster relief funds under the Stafford Act.

      To apply, your local city or county government typically submits a project worksheet for all government entities subordinate to your respective city/county, including the fire department. It's important that your fire department carefully documents costs so it can justify how they are related to the disaster (in this case the pandemic), such as overtime, backfill, equipment, mileage, fuel, COVID-19 testing, etc. Every state and locality is different, so begin asking the questions now to get this process started.

      • The application period for the Fiscal Year 2019 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants is expected to begin on or around April 13, 2020.

      If your department needs assistance in applying for a SAFER grant, email firegrants@iaff.org. If your department did not previously apply for an Assistance to Firefighters (FIRE Act) grant this year, your department will need to register with the new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) GO system to apply for a SAFER grant.


      The Fiscal Year 2019 Assistance to Firefighters (FIRE Act) grant application period has closed. Applications will be reviewed later this month, with awards expected beginning late spring 2020.

       

                     This is an invitation to all Fire and Police Personnel wishing to participate in the 4th Annual Battle of the Badges in Bossier City, LA on April 13th 2019. Anyone working in either a professional or volunteer capacity as a firefighter or police officer is eligible to fight (boxing). Participants will be assigned to weight classes and paired with individuals that match their weight and experience levels. Other information for your consideration as follows:

      -        All proceeds from the fight will be donated to charity.

      -        A Prize Belt will be awarded to the winner of the Main Event Bout

      -        Medals will be awarded to the winners of all other bouts.

      -        All fighters will receive a swag bag (t-shirts, extra tickets, etc.)

      -        The Weigh In on April 12th will be open to the public, with a party following.

      -        Doors open at 6 p.m. on April 13th with the fights beginning at 7 p.m.

      -        Hotel accommodations will be provided for out of town fighters.

      -        Gloves and helmets provided.

      -        Fights will take place in the Horseshoe Casino’s Riverdome.
