Ask the Educators: Earning Your Fire Science Degree The IAFF, in partnership with Penn Foster College and the National Labor College, is offering an online Degree Program in Fire Science. This new educational opportunity is exclusively for IAFF union members. This session will cover the specifics of this program, the curriculum, transfer credit, pricing, how the online program works (including the mobile delivery option), and much more.

IAFF John P. Redmond Foundation Reducing deaths, injuries and illnesses among fire fighters are major concerns of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) which has been actively involved in improving the health and safety of fire fighters. During the course of a single year, a fire fighter has greater than a forty percent chance of being injured. In fact, fire fighters’ deaths, injuries and occupationally-induced illnesses exceed the mining, construction and logging industries, each of which annually rank among the most hazardous occupations. Clearly, the profession of fire fighting, “the world’s most hazardous profession,” deserves concentrated attention and support in order to reduce the number of injuries, illnesses and deaths. As a result, the John P. Redmond Foundation (earlier, referred to as the John P. Redmond Memorial Trust Fund) was established as a non-profit organization at the IAFF Convention in 1958, in memory of John P. Redmond, the fourth President of the IAFF who died in office from occupational heart disease. The purpose of the fund was to encourage and conduct research and education regarding the occupational hazards and diseases associated with fire fighting. These efforts have been supported over the years through IAFF membership dues, voluntary contributions from IAFF affiliates, IAFF Auxiliary chapters, and memorial gifts from families and friends of fire fighters, as well as support from federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Fire Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the National Institute for Science and Technology. To promote education, the Redmond Foundation has co-sponsored a symposium on the occupational health and hazards of the fire service every two years. The twenty symposia held since 1971 provided forums for detailed discussions on safety and health matters directly affecting fire fighting personnel. Participants in those discussions included fire fighters, medical researchers, medical practitioners, safety experts, fire chiefs, city management representatives, political leaders, universities, industry representatives, and federal government representatives from various agencies. Often times, those in attendance have initiated new research efforts or caused programs to be implemented to reduce the hazards associated with fire fighting. In addition, these symposia have provided valuable opportunities for fire fighters from across the United States and Canada to learn about the occupational hazards of their profession as well as ways to minimize these dangers. In this way, the Redmond Foundation has maintained a forefront position on health and safety issues affecting fire fighters. This, the twenty-first symposium, promises a program addressing what we believe to be the most significant health and safety issues in the fire service. This program will address relevant and timely issues and promote new IAFF initiatives and challenges which we believe can and will make significant changes in the fire service and ultimately save the lives of our emergency response members. While much deserved attention has been focused on the biennial symposiums, they are only a piece of the Foundation’s efforts. The studies funded through the Foundation have led to medical evidence that correlates heart and lung diseases as well as occupational cancers with the profession of fire fighting. This research has been used successfully to lobby numerous state legislatures for the adoption of statutes that automatically provide compensation benefits to fire fighters with heart and lung diseases and occupational cancers. The Foundation has also supported research which examined the effects of the number one fire killer, carbon monoxide, as well as studies involving product liability, diesel exhaust in fire stations and lower-back injuries. Additionally, the foundation provided the resources for the IAFF’s efforts to successfully enact the NFPA 1710, Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments. Finally, the Foundation continues to support field testing advances in protective clothing via Project FIRES, the IAFF’s latest initiative Project HEROES and the new IAFF project on light weight SCBA pressure vessels. - 183 -
