Whereas, we, Black Firefighters, aware of the increasing complexity of problems confronting our Brothers and Sisters in the fire service and within the community, form an organization for the purpose of studying and solving such problems. In order to take our place at the vanguard of our struggle, we hereby dedicate ourselves to the goal of cultivating and maintaining professional competence among active firefighters and other fire service professionals, keeping interest alive among retired members, and to improve the social status of those in the Black community.


History Image Preview


F.I.R.E., a fraternal organization of firefighters, men and women, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, has been a leader at home and across the nation, in assuring fair and equal participation in the areas of hiring and promotions, and equal treatment in the Fire Department.

After years of discrimination and numerous court battles, F.I.R.E., has been instrumental in having unprecedented numbers of black firefighters hired and advanced in St. Louis. And in the struggle we have amassed a wealth of knowledge. All information gained is correlated and disseminated through the International Association Black Professional Firefighters, so that others may learn from our experiences
