Today, on Memorial Day, Local 4315 pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to protecting the freedoms we enjoy can never be fully repaid. We remember those who left their homes, families, and loved ones behind and gave everything in defense of our country.

As firefighters, paramedics, and public servants, we recognize the profound meaning of service and sacrifice. We stand in gratitude for those who answered their nation’s call and never returned home.

This Memorial Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the heroes who paid the highest price for our freedom and to keep their families and loved ones in our thoughts.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Thank you Senator Nick DiCeglie and Demi Busatta- State Representative as long with all the other legislators that supported this bill. Thank you Governor Ron DeSantis for signing it into law! Thank y’all for supporting Firefighters across the great state of Florida with this!

Today, Governor DeSantis signed SB 984 (DiCeglie) relating to Firefighter Cancer Benefits into law. 🎉

This legislation ensures that firefighters battling terminal occupational cancer can spend their final days at home with their families without jeopardizing their family’s death benefit.

Beginning July 1, 2026, firefighters and their families will retain access to the cancer death benefit for one year after terminating employment.

Thank you to Senator Nick DiCeglie and Demi Busatta- State Representative for their leadership, and for all the members of the Legislature who supported this important clarification for Florida’s firefighters and their families. Thank you to Governor Ron DeSantis for signing this good bill into law.

This is an important step forward for firefighter families across Florida we were proud to champion. 🇺🇸🚒

Encourage your Florida Senators and House of Representatives to vote in favor of adding a COLA for Florida's first responders into the FRS.

For many firefighters, their tireless service has caused damage to their health, and they are no longer able to serve to the fullest capacity.
