INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS

WORKING FOR YOU 24/7

The Hawaii Fire Fighters Association (HFFA Local 1463) is an affiliate of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), AFL-CIO. Since 1963, HFFA Local 1463 has been the exclusive collective bargaining representative for all City, State and County fire fighters in Hawai‘i. Its primary role is to negotiate and administer the collective bargaining agreement which governs the terms and conditions of fire fighter employment while handling grievances, and perform labor-related and legislative activities in the interest of its members.

The IAFF is the driving force behind nearly every advance in the fire and emergency services in the 21st century. With headquarters in Washington, DC, and Ottawa, Ontario, the IAFF represents more than 313,000 full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics in more than 3,200 affiliates. IAFF members protect more than 85 percent of the population in communities throughout the United States and Canada. The IAFF is also one of the most active lobbying organizations in Washington, DC. The IAFF Political Action Committee, FIREPAC, is among the top one-half of one percent of the nearly 6,000 federally registered PACs in the country.

It is an undeniable fact that among labor organizations, HFFA and its parent union, the IAFF, are second to none when it comes to membership representation. Whether at the bargaining table or in the legislative halls of Washington, D.C.; from the county council to the Fire Chief’s office; in the courts and throughout the 50th state, Hawai‘i‘s fire fighters are ably represented.

You can count on HFFA Local 1463 members to bravely protect lives and property knowing that their Union is looking out for them. Because when seconds count, saving a life is all that matters.

KAHULUI: A homeless camp set on fire 25-feet from Kahului Union Church and Preschool yesterday is shedding light on homelessness.

#MauiFF and first responders raced to the corner of Lono and Kamehameha Avenues around 5:45 AM to find the encampment in flames. While no one was injured, the close proximity to the church and preschool was a concern.

The belongings were that of Mark Pacman who left 45 minutes prior to the fire to visit family in Wailuku. He and his girlfriend have been living on the sidewalk in front of the Church for about a week now and church staff said homeless nearby have been a growing problem. They said they have found needles and drugs on school property and have been working with service providers to try to get the homeless into housing.

Outreach workers were back there yesterday afternoon trying to offer support. Mr. Pacman said he is unsure who lit his belongings but is finally considering going into a shelter after the morning's attack.

KAPA'A: #KauaiFF responded to small structure fire on Sunday afternoon that ignited a warehouse on Kuhio Highway.

At approximately 3:15 PM, firefighters from Kapa'a, Kaiakea, and Lihu'e fire stations along with an on-duty Battalion Chief were dispatched to the building where heavy black smoke was reported.

Upon arrival, a bystander was seen exiting the warehouse with a fire extinguisher in hand in attempts to stop the fire from spreading. No other occupants were in the unit -- Fire crews were able to bring the flames under control and quickly extinguish the fire.

Damages to the structure and its contents are estimated to be roughly $25,000 and the cause appears to be accidental.

Four fishermen were aboard a boat that suffered mechanical failure on Sunday about three-quarters of a mile off Waimea Bay.

The distress call came in just after 7 AM and Ocean Safety lifeguards (who normally report for duty at 9 AM on Sundays) came in early to assist with the call and responded to find the (4) uninjured.

All (4) individuals refused assistance from lifeguards, insisting they were going to wait for #HonoluluFF to respond so that they had more time to fish, instead of returning to shore safely via jetski.

Firefighters arrived shortly thereafter and towed the boat back to harbor under escort from lifeguards.

A 25-year-old woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, Saturday after leaping approximately 50 feet from a waterfall jump at Maunawili Falls.

#HonoluluFF received the call at 3:07 PM and firefighters ascended the trail on foot before making contact with the woman at 3:51 PM at the base of Maunawili falls.

Reports say the woman was hurt after she jumped off the falls into the pool and landed flat on her back. She missed hitting the rocks but injured her back and neck due to her impact with the water.

Firefighters immobilized the patient's spine and packaged her for air support where HFD's Air 1 rescue helicopter then airlifted the woman to a landing zone before transferring care to EMS at 4:04 PM where she was then brought to an area hospital in serious condition.

More than a dozen #HonoluluFF responded to call for lost teen hikers on the Waimano Falls Trail on Saturday.

Two females (both 17 years old) became lost around 11 AM while heading for the falls via Manana Ridge. After they realized they were lost, they spent some time moving to higher ground to regain cellular service before contacting 9-1-1 at 1:50 PM for help.

About (5) HFD units staffed with (16) firefighters arrived at 2 PM and determined that the girls were located (1) ridge over from Manana. Air 1 picked up a RESCUE specialist to determine exactly where the teens were located. At 2:22 PM, the teens were met on the ridge by Air 1 and airlifted before being transported to a landing zone at Pearl City High School.

Neither girl was injured and no further assistance was needed.
