YOUR Waco Professionals!
Waco Professional Firefighters Association, IAFF Local-478, is the professional association of firefighters for the City of Waco, Texas. Even though our name tells of our main purpose, the well-being and safety of Waco firefighters, we are much more than our name implies.
Your Waco Professionals, as we have come to be known, takes part in many different organizations and programs throughout the year that all work to help those in our community from all walks of life, who are in need. As a part of the IAFF, we are commonly thought of during the nationwide Fill the Boot campaign with MDA. However, we are also proud to help with other fundraisers and charities, such as “Food for Families” and Miracle Match Marathon.
As firefighters, we feel a need to do what is right and necessary to help those around us, family or stranger, in their times of need. Though we have chosen to make that our profession, and our organization’s goal is to take care of our brother and sister firefighters, we as an association also have a passion for doing what we can to make our community better for all.
Thank you for your support and for visiting our website. Have a look around, and be sure to also check out our merchandise selections, either here or on Waco Fire Apparel FB page.
