There is no distinction between firefighters’ grades within the Association. The volunteer firefighter from the smallest fire department and the private from a paid department have the same rights and privileges as the chief of a large city department. The Association was organized to present a united front for the entire fire service of Florida. It is meant to be a melting pot for firefighters of all levels.
