About Marin Professional Firefighters

Ross Valley Firefighters extinguish late night structure fire - October 2001.Marin Professional Firefighters, Local 1775 of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) is a labor union representing the career firefighters of Marin County, California. Our membership consists of nearly 400 firefighters from 13 local and county government agencies. Established in 1973 with only 11 members, we now represent nearly every firefighter from every fire district, county, and municipal fire department in Marin.

Over the past three decades, firefighting has evolved from a common trade which was often performed by volunteers, into a highly demanding technical career. From Hazardous Materials, Emergency Medical Services, Paramedicine, Terrorism/WMD, Heavy Rescue, Water Rescue, and Urban Search and Rescue, our job today is far more complex and technical, requiring more (and more varied) education, training, and dedication to succeed. During this period of unprecedented change, Local 1775 and the IAFF provide leadership and guidance in professionalism, training, labor relations, safety, and community issues. Our membership takes pride in the community involvement and leadership that Local 1775 and all Marin Fire Fighters provide statewide.
