San Jose Fire Fighters is the union of full-time, professional firefighters who are employed by the City of San José, serving our residents and communities throughout the country through mutual aid responses.
Our firefighters have committed themselves to public service. They are often acknowledged for their firefighting and rescue work, bringing people to safety from burning buildings, crashed vehicles and other uncontrolled environments.
The Silver Spanner newsletter is a bi-weekly online news distribution from San Jose Fire Fighters, keeping the community informed on the latest local, statewide and national fire news.
We are affiliated with the International Association of Fire Fighters as IAFF Local 230. We are also a member of California Professional Fire Fighters, the Council of Professional Organizations of Firefighters of Santa Clara County and South Bay Labor Council. Through our relationship with the IAFF, San Jose Fire Fighters is a member of the American Federation of Labor – Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).
