ADFA BACKGROUND
art
The AD Firefighter Association (ADFA) was started on 3/10/03. The response has been overwhelming.
ADFA will equally represent all AD Firefighters (AD-A through AD-M) -- retired or non-retirees - from Area Command positions to the ground firefighter --- on pay as well as other issues of importance to all of us.
The need to achieve collective representation of AD Firefighters was prompted by the 2003 AD-5 Pay Rates. Subsequent events have merely supported the need for our association.
As individuals, we have little or no say on any of the issues of concern to AD Firefighters. However, the wildland fire agencies are very much aware of the critical support the EFF firefighter provides to their continued efforts to staff fires. They are also aware that we are already trained, highly qualified and experienced, and expert in the jobs we perform.
As a group, however, we can effect change in many areas, including the pay scales.
ADFA is a non-profit organization licensed by the State of Idaho. We have a bank account in Boise, Idaho under the name of AD Firefighters Association, incorporated in Idaho, and have IRS tax-exempt status.
All receipts and expenses will be authorized by the Board of Directors
If we are to be successful, we need your help now.
