Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IAFF Executive Board voted to postpone the 55th IAFF Convention until January 25-29, 2021, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With this decision, there are a lot of questions. While a number of decisions on specifics (dates, processes, etc.) still need to be made, The IAFF is providing the following frequently asked questions (FAQs) as initial guidance. The IAFF will update these on the Convention website as additional decisions are made – so much more to come on this.

We are asking all affiliates to complete our COVID-19 tracking survey for reporting the number of IAFF members/fire-EMS personnel in your local/fire department who have tested positive for coronavirus or have been quarantined or in isolation.

Steadfast Spirits Distilling Company is making sanitizer thanks to member CJ Lundergan. Please see below a message from them:

In unprecedented times like we are seeing it’s now more than ever we all need to get a little creative to continue to protect our communities as well as ourselves.  With the current shortage of hand sanitizers, we (like many NH distilleries) have swapped over from making spirits to sanitizer.  Given this, we wanted to offer departments the opportunity to purchase some sanitizer at our cost.  Please see below for the general information:
- 4oz personal bottles: suggested donation of $3.00 each – max. qty is 1 per dept. staff member
- 32oz refill bottles: suggested donation of $18.00 each – max. qty is 4 per dept (1 gallon)
- To order, please email CJ (Windham FF) at charles@steadfastspirits.com and include your agency and sanitizer in the subject
- Departments will be asked to pick up at the distillery in Concord (134 Hall Street, Unit H) or contact us directly and we can try to facilitate other arrangements.
We fully acknowledge that we have a limited quantity available but are hoping to offer these bulk orders first to our local brotherhood. If demand outweighs our current production capacity, we will work to find more ways to fulfill the needs. Thank you for all you are doing and please stay safe.
