The IAFF claims that the IAFC and the National Volunteer Fire Council and their allies endanger professional fire fighter safety in opposition to the NFPA 1500 standard. The IAFF, the USFA and fire fighters push for a minimum staffing level of four. The IAFF publishes a special issue of the International Fire Fighter to outline the controversy and defend its position. The IAFF asks members to write to NFPA regarding its proposed Tentative Interim Amendment, which would add to the NFPA 1500 Standard a requirement for minimum safe fire ground staffing.
