Another IAFF 2nd District convention has come to a close, and we are grateful to all those that took the time to attend from our departments across the state.

Members from Des Moines Firefighters, Ames Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 625, Iowa City Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 610, Urbandale Firefighters, Davenport Association of Professional Firefighters Local #17, West Des Moines Fire Fighters & Medics IAFF L3586, Ottumwa Fire Department Local 395, and Waterloo Firefighters IAFF L66 spent the last few days learning, networking, and growing in their union leadership skills that they will take back to their home locals. The Iowa Professional Firefighters Association exists to create and ensure safe and healthy working conditions for our members, as well as their families. When cities try to cut corners on safety and well-being, we are there to make sure our members have safe working conditions.

Earlier this year in March, there was a friendly little wager with the Nebraska Professional Fire Fighters Association around a March madness game involving the 4th seed Nebraska Huskers and the 9th seed Iowa Men's Basketball. We both wagered that the losing team would have to enjoy the corn from the winning teams state.

Well, let's just say that after some serious (lighthearted) trash talking in March, it was time for the Nebraska Professional Fire Fighters to pay up at IAFF 2nd District in front of everyone!

The verdict is still out on if they enjoyed it or not, but we are certainly confident that our corn is by far the superior corn, and tastes incredible! Thanks for being great sports and paying up on the debt Nebraska! Better luck next season!
