This website is the for the membership of the Putnam County Fire-Rescue Professionals and to provide information to the community and to all active retired members.
Our Union was established January 31, 1994. We have been representing our members for 25 years and work closely with our community.
Firefighters, Paramedics, Fire Inspectors, Fire Investigators and Emergency Medical Technicians face many challenges such as; cancer, heart disease, post-traumatic stress and on the job injuries. We must continue to study, treat and prevent these silent killers. The State of Florida signed into law the Firefighter cancer Bill this year (2019).
