Historic morning at Liberty State Park for New Jersey first responders as Governor Phil Murphy signs the “Canzanella” cancer presumption and “Ricci” 9/11 exposure bills into law.
WHO WE ARE
The Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey was originally established and chartered as a State Association by the International Association of Fire Fighters on October 29, 1929. It was called the Uniformed Firemen’s Association of New Jersey, and included charter locals Newark Local 71, Carteret Local 292, Perth Amboy Local 286, Woodbridge Local 290, and Rahway Local 295. A short time later, the union’s delegates saw fit to change the association’s name to Fire Fighters Association of New Jersey, and it operated as such for more than 30 years. Delegates to the 1996 convention, however, were concerned that there be no misunderstanding of the union’s calling and mission. They moved by resolution to change the name of the organization to the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey.
Today, the PFANJ often referred to as the IAFF. The IAFF exists on three planes: our parent IAFF headquartered in Washington, DC; the IAFF State Association, the PFANJ, headquartered in Trenton; and our local affiliate unions spread across New Jersey. These organizations are designed to allow information to flow back and forth for the benefit of all members.
Since 1929, the PFANJ has grown to upwards of seventy local unions of varying size and complexity, representing over half of New Jersey’s approximately 6,000 professional firefighters. In addition, the PFANJ represents more than 500 EMS professionals who are members of PEMSA (Professional Emergency Medical Services Association) IAFF Local 4610. In all but a few cases, PFANJ/IAFF affiliates are the recognized bargaining agent responsible for terms and conditions of employment in their respective venues, regardless of any other affiliation.
Our local affiliates range from small fire districts, to full time round-the-clock suburban fire and rescue agencies, to the state’s largest and busiest urban fire departments.
WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT
The mission of the hard-working, dedicated elected officers and general membership of the PFANJ/IAFF has never altered, nor has its membership waivered in the performance of their duties to their union and communities. Our mission is:
From the time that we organized through today, our union has made innumerable strides toward our goals. Our profession has been made safer, and our livelihoods and retirements more secure. Our unity has shown those in positions of influence that we are not to be trifled with. It has shown the public their standard of living has been preserved, even raised, by our bravery and sacrifice. It has allowed us to bring our messages to the forefront of the societal agenda.
The PFANJ continues to pursue a better quality of life for members through legislative initiatives such as presumptive heart and cancer laws, minimum staffing, stronger EMS legislation, and shoring up collective bargaining laws to ensure members’ hard-earned pensions upon retirement. The PFANJ educates the public regarding the dangers associated with being a member of the proud vocation of firefighters and EMS professionals.
To ensure our interests remain a priority, the PFANJ is represented on every committee and council that impacts our daily operations, including the Civil Service Fire Advisory Board, the NJ Fire Safety Commission, the Firefighter Safety & Health Advisory Council, the Public Employee Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) board, Arbitration Task Force, State Investment Council (SIC), Pension Committee, Police and Firefighters Retirement System to name a few. We have created a network of solid relationships with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Public Employee Relations Commission. State representatives continue to support local affiliate initiatives to provide the service that we deserve.
Through our great international union, we maintain an incomparable network of hard-working, experienced men and women from across the nation.
OUR CALLING
Professional firefighters take an oath to protect life and property. Professional emergency medical personnel make a promise to serve the public. We do not agree to die, nor to become seriously injured or permanently disabled by virtue of our occupation. In a few instances, however, we must make the ultimate sacrifice. To save another, we may lose our own lives, a possibility that sets our occupation and membership apart from all others.
In numerous instances, however, our injury or death is the direct result of an unsafe workplace and an under-prepared workforce. As trade labor unionists, we strive to make our workplaces safer and our workforces better prepared to face the challenges of a potentially dangerous and debilitating occupation. Those who insist we work in an unsafe, under-prepared environment can and will be held accountable for their misdeeds against our membership, our families, and the citizens we are sworn to serve.
They say some things never change. Our profession requires us to get as close to a fire as possible to apply water until it’s extinguished. While the water part remains unchanged since the Stone Age, ever-evolving technology allows us to get deeper into fires and their hazardous environments for longer periods of time than ever before. Our jobs have therefore become simultaneously more efficient and more dangerous.
Also unchanged is the notion of cutting costs on the backs of firefighters and emergency medical personnel, relying on their good nature and dedication to get the job done no matter what. Our forbearers needed a strong union 88 years ago, and we need one today. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
You may ask yourself, “Why should I belong to a state union?” Brothers and Sisters, there has never been a more important time in our history than now for us to come together as one! We are being vilified on every front, portrayed as the cause for New Jersey’s terrible economy. We must come together as one union to speak in one voice, under one banner, to refute the fallacies orchestrated against us and to protect our hard-earned rights and benefits!
We can no longer rely upon the good nature of the public we serve to support our initiatives and to sympathize with the dangers associated with our calling. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure the hard work of our forbearers was not in vain.

A MESSAGE TO THE WARRIOR BRIDE OF CHRIST:
The beast, It’s mark, it’s number 666, & it’s plans! -It is not likely what you think, but I believe I can prove it! Please review this information, pray, & warn absolutely as many of our brethren as you can! Time is of the essence...we may have less than 2 MONTHS!!!!!

HYDROGEL-LIQUID MARK OF BEAST:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=pxgDZQgRe5c
IF OUR BRAINS CONTROL OUR BODIES WITH ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, ALL A CHIP WOULD NEED IS A TRANSCEIVER & TRANSDUCER (SIMPLE RFID CHIP) & IT COULD ACHIEVE CONTROL INDESCRIBABLE FROM YOUR OWN THINKING! ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED TO RESTORE MOVEMENT & FUNCTION TO PARALYTICS, THEY SOON DISCOVERED IT DID MUCH MORE! DARPA STEPPED IN & NOW WE ARE POSSIBLY HEADING QUICKLY TOWARDS THE LAST DAYS!
A NERVOUS SYSTEM INTERFACE CAN NOW BE HIDDEN IN VACCINES! IN ADDITION TO ABORTED FETAL TISSUE, POISONS, CARCINOGENS, POTENTIAL LATENT UNDESIRED PATHOGENS, OR EVEN UNTESTED NEW SCIENCE WHICH WOULD INTENTIONALLY ALTER OUR GENETIC CODE (LIKE GMO’S)
***DARPA’S: HYDROGEL CAN BE INJECTED IN LIQUID FORM! IT CONTAINS LINKED NANOPARTICLES WHICH SPREAD OUT IN THE BODY LIKE A SPONGE, FORMING A DEVICE WHICH CAN ALSO RECEIVE A SIGNAL & CONVERT IT TO AN ELECTRICAL IMPULSE INDECIPHERABLE FROM OUR OWN THINKING, SECURING CONTROL.
THIS IS A FURTHER INNOVATION ON ID2020’s PUSH FOR DIGITAL CERTIFICATES WORLDWIDE CONNECTED TO COVID-19 & POTENTIALLY OTHER MANDATORY VACCINATIONS! IT IS CONNECTED TO PATENT#060606! THIS IS THE BIBLICAL: MARK OF THE BEAST! IT CAN ACTUALLY EXERT CONTROL! VACCINATIONS=SLAVERY!!!
If the vaccine works, & I refuse it...I pose no risk to anyone who took it! How can they force me if by refusing I shoulder the only risk?

If we allow everyone to get implanted without a fight, it could be the end of human rights, freedom, possessions, & paychecks. It could be the beginning of great suffering which we would be unable to voice! Food shortages may only be the beginning. Our very way of life is at stake! There is a reason & plan behind the fact that all of Earth’s economies worldwide are being hurled into unbelievable debt faster than almost anyone imagined possible.
PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AWAY!
Please do not let any personal fears overshadow your concern for your those you LOVE! We must stand together!

Hello All,
Recently, a student reached out to me stating that she is currently pursing a research project. Her project is about sleep difficulties among firefighters in NY/NJ/CT. This caught my interest because it is a topic that I often wonder about. I am going to attach the link to the survey so hopefully we can get some good data for her. She said she is mainly looking for career firefighters to participate. There is more information about her project on the survey if you click the link.

All,
Thirteen EMS providers from around the state have died from complications of COVID-19 since March 31, according to the New Jersey EMS Task Force and multiple EMS squads. And hundreds of other EMS workers have fallen sick with COVID-19 symptoms in recent weeks, causing a strain on rescue units, nearly a dozen members of the emergency response community told NJ Advance Media. The number of coronavirus cases within their ranks - and concern for older volunteers with underlying medical conditions - have led to staff shortages, forcing some squads to temporarily drop service...

As recently as 50 years ago, ambulances were more like taxis to get to the nearest hospital. That all changed thanks to an ambulance crew recruited from a poverty-stricken black neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that operated between 1967 and 1975. They became the very first ambulance workers in the U.S. trained in advanced life support, setting the bar for generations of emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
