President Andriole with some of the RI delegates at the IAFF 100th Anniversary Gala
RISAFF with RI Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea supporting UNAP.
RISAFF members along with Senate candidate Melissa Murray walk the picket line in support of UNAP.
President Andriole, District Vice President Bill Perry along with members of his home Local of East Greenwich and Staff Rep Bob Neill join members from RISAFF locals from Johnston and Cumberland in support of our brothers and sisters in Laconia and the Professional Fire Fighters of NH. Councilman Hamel made disparaging comments about a member that gave his life in the line of duty, during a city council meeting. The City has made massive cuts to the department, trying to privatize EMS and other anti-labor moves. Our brothers LODD should have never been used as propaganda by Hamel! Hamel must go!
RISAFF President Andriole presenting Senator Sheldon Whitehouse with donations collected from our RISAFF members. Thank you to all our members who contributed! Prior to the anti-union Janus decision that came out of the Supreme Court this week Senator Whitehouse submitted an amicus brief against this anticipated decision. The Janus decision has not made us weaker, it will make us stronger! Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for your continued, unwavering support! RISAFF and IAFF members appreciate your constant 100% voting record on issues that effect firefighter health, safety and welfare, we all appreciate your support for working class families!
RISAFF President Joseph Andriole and Staff Representative Bob Neill with Congressman Jim Langevin at his reception last evening. Thank you Congressman Langevin for your continued support. Thanks to the RISAFF Locals and members who attended!
Thank you to Barrington Local 1774 and their President Ed Owens for hosting a meeting with RISAFF as we continue our outreach program. Great questions and discussion with the brothers from Barrington. If your Local would like to participate in the program, please contact President Andriole.
On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, President Andriole kicked off an outreach campaign of the Rhode Island State Association of Firefighters in Middletown with our Brothers and Sisters from Middletown Local 1933, led by President Jon Reese. Visit our website www.RISAFF.org for the full story. If your Local would like to participate in this program please contact President Andriole. Thank you to President Jon Reese and the members of Local 1933 for being the first to participate! RISAFF looks forward to seeing you at your Union meeting soon!

Hello fellow Brothers and Sisters, My name is Michael Shurtleff and I am the secretary Treasurer for Local 3023 Lincoln Rescue and Fire Fighters Association. I am resending a letter that has been circulated around the state over the last few months. I am resending it to all of you as a request for help in this current situation for our fellow brother. Please take a few minutes to read it and get in touch with me if there is anything you can do to help us out. Tickets are still available and I would love to see those numbers increase. So even if you could help drive those sales up with purchases in your own departments that will be a huge help as well. So please do what you can to make his time out a little less stressful. All my contact info is at the bottom of the page so please feel free to call text or email with any questions or concerns. Thank you and stay safe out there.
Please take notice
Congratulations to all who were promoted today in Pawtucket.IAFF District 3 VP#risaff#pfdlocal1261
If you think your community can rely on the state or federal governments to solve your emergencies, consider that the DHS relies on the local fire departments as critical to national security.
On behalf of all of our members, we express our sincere condolences to the family members of Retired FF David "Ditz" Dilorio and members of the North Providence Firefighters IAFF local 2334.

Brothers and sisters of RISAFF As I am sure most of you know I am one of the area representatives for Police and Firemen's Insurance Association. PFIA is a 104 year old, non profit, fraternal benefits association run by cops and firefighters for cops and firefighters and is one of the most financially sound insurance companies in the US. June is typically an "open enrollment period" for some insurance providers. It is during this time that they allow you to sign up, change or leave their plans. Once they sign you up, you're theirs for at least a year. PFIA doesn't believe in open enrollment! PFIA will sign you up whenever you want, let you change your policies whenever you want and let you drop your policies whenever you want, there is no commitment. If you are currently not a PFIA member and covered by one of the for profit companies and you are interested in some information, please reach out. We offer short term accident disability insurance, medical disability insurance, cancer insurance and life insurance among others. All premiums are payable through payroll deduction (if your municipality allows) and some plans can cover your immediate family as well as parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. We have no hidden "at work coverage riders", so all of our policies cover you on and off duty. Thanks for your time, Captain Raymond J Masse, Pawtucket FD. Police and Firemen's Insurance Association 5 Diana Drive Pawtucket RI, 02861 (401)639-0164 PFIA1261@GMAIL.COM WWW.PFIA1913.ORG
