Garland

The Garland Fire Fighters Association, Local 1293 is an organization, comprised of 229 career firefighters proudly serving the citizens of Garland, Texas. Garland Fire Fighters Association, Local 1293 was originally chartered on January 18, 1958. An enormous debt of gratitude is owed to the original members that established the foundation for this fine organization for all of our brothers and sisters over the years.

Garland Fire Fighters Association (GFFA) is involved in the City of Garland on many fronts. GFFA is involved with many charity activities; recently we became the sponsors of Boy Scout Troop 100. GFFA also participates in the MDA “fill the boot” drive, hosts a golf tournament to raise money for a Christmas shopping spree for children in Garland, this committee also sponsors and donates to other charitable events that benefit the citizens of Garland. Taco Casa (South Garland) has partnered with GFFA to establish a public safety scholarship available to graduating seniors from GISD, that are interested in pursuing a career in the Fire Service. This scholarship was presented for the first time in 2009 to a graduate of Sachse High School. GFFA, along with Garland Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) participated in a Habitat for Humanity project in 2009.

GFFA is thankful of the appreciation we receive from the citizens on a daily basis, which is why we are happy to give back to the community when we are able.

One of the goals of GFFA is to make sure that our members are as safe as they can possibly be in an inherently dangerous profession. The most critical component of firefighter safety is adequate staffing levels. The other goals that GFFA seeks to assure is that GFD acquires the most state of the art equipment and technology to help us perform our job safer and more efficiently, to provide the best level of protection for Garland’s citizens.
