Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Florida's state budget for fiscal year 2026-27, restoring a Florida Retirement System cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Special Risk members. This strengthens the retirement security of firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders, and recognizes the sacrifices they make throughout their careers protecting their communities.

We are grateful for the leadership of the Florida Senate and Florida House for making this legislation a priority and to Governor Ron DeSantis for signing it into law. This is a meaningful investment in the men and women who have dedicated their careers to protecting Florida today and into the future.

We especially thank our firefighter Brother, Senator Ed Hooper, for being the driving force behind this legislation, alongside Senator Debbie Mayfield. Thank you to Representative Randy Maggard for sponsoring the bill in the House.

🚑 MORE THAN FIREFIGHTERS: WE ARE YOUR FIRST RESPONDERS 🚑

⚕️​Firefighters are fully trained first responders and EMTs. In an emergency, we don't just mitigate property damage-we deliver critical, life-saving medical care right on the scene.

🏥 When a patient is rescued, in critical condition, or waiting for transport, a properly staffed 5-person crew ensures that medical interventions happen seamlessly while the patient is packaged without compromising personnel safety.

💪 LOBBYING FOR THE FRONT LINES 💪

🏛️ ​The EFOA along with the New Jersey Firefighters PFANJ and International Association of Fire Fighters actively lobbying local, state, and nation decision-makers to recognize that proper staffing is an investment, not an expense.

💲​The Reality: Opponents often claim cities cannot afford to fund adequate crew sizes. But chronic understaffing actually costs communities more in the long run through skyrocketing overtime budgets, worker’s compensation, increased property losses, and severe organizational burnout.

📈​ When cities like ours prioritize and secure dedicated staffing revenue, the data shows an immediate return on investment:

​Better Outcomes at Fires: Faster containment means drastically reduced property damage and higher victim survival rates.

​Increased Morale: Providing crews with the adequate workforce needed to safely execute tactical maneuvers reduces job-induced anxiety and physical fatigue.

​Firefighters Showing Up to Work: Safe staffing decreases on-the-job injuries, reduces long-term health exposures, and prevents the systemic burnout that causes operational absenteeism.

📈WHAT THE STUDIES TELL US 📈

📊​Rigorous, independent research proves that numbers on the apparatus directly translate to lives saved:

​The NIST Landmark Study: Controlled live-burn research by the National Institute of Standards and Technology demonstrated that larger crews complete critical fireground tasks up to 30% faster than understaffed teams.

​The FSRI Health & Safety Study: Research by the Fire Safety Research Institute confirms that the 4-person baseline is a floor, not a ceiling. Moving to a 5-person model dramatically reduces extreme physical exhaustion, limits rapid fire growth, and minimizes toxic gas exposures.

​Real-World Performance Outcomes: Field simulations evaluating engine crew sizes showed that adding personnel yields an 11% faster time to put water on the fire, a 27% faster victim removal time, and a staggering 74% improvement in establishing a reliable water supply.
