Local 479 is a charter of the International Association of Fire Fighters, and represents more than 700 uniformed personnel of the Tucson Fire Department as well as the uniformed personnel of the South Tucson Fire Department and the
Tucson Airport Authority. More than 99 percent of Tucson Fire Fighters belong to the TFFA. Tucson Fire Department is the second largest municipal fire department in Ar

izona, and operates 21 fire stations. Currently, TFD has 22 engine companies, 9 ladder companies, and 17 paramedic companies in service. It also boasts specialized heavy rescue, hazardous materials, mass casualty and mobile command center equipment, as well as a 158 acre, state-of-the-art public safety training academy. TFFA is highly visible in the community, and has a long history of involvement with charitable causes such as cancer research, child injury prevention, and burn treatment. We are key supporters of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, raising money through community events, Fill-The-Boot campaigns, and ticket sales to semiannual charity concerts. MDA's national corporate headquarters is located in Tucson. Each November, we host the Tucson Fire Fighters Chili Cook-off. Every year we serve over 750 gallons (which is over 24000 servings) of the hot stuff, and attract more than 10,000 chili fans to the day-long music and food festival. This event generally raises more than $60,000 for our Adopt-A-Family program, which helps hundreds of Southern Arizona families during the holidays with gifts of food, clothing, shelter and Christmas presents.
