COVER STORY

Firefighters and the COVID-19 Vaccine The Raleigh News & Observer published a story on January 15 that reports fewer than half of the eligible firefighters across Wake County’s 20 fire departments have signed up for the COVID-19 vaccine. It is a stark difference from the 70% of Wake County’s EMS employees who have gotten the vaccine.

While PFFPNC supports the right of any firefighter who opts not to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, the organization is providing this link to important facts sheet from the IAFF. As of January 12, 2021, 30 IAFF members have died in the line of duty from COVID-19.

The IAFF strongly recommends all members be vaccinated against the coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) for their own protection and the protection of their brothers and sisters, family members, friends and communities. It is critical that members are protected through vaccinations to maintain their readiness to respond to COVID-19 and other

emergencies, as the number of positive tests, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 continue to rise amidst flu season.

PFFPNC President Scott Mullins, who also serves as the President the Asheville Fire Fighters Association, posted a video on Twitter of him receiving his second COVID-19 vaccination on Tuesday.

“Just got round 2 of the #COVID vaccine,” Mullins tweeted.

“Thankful for the work the @IAFFNewsDesk & @PFFPNC did to ensure @ncfirefighters were in the top tier for vaccinations. Stay healthy and do your part to get us out of this mess. Get your vaccine. @AFFA332”.

COVID-19 experts report that approximately 75-80% of Americans will need to receive the vaccine in order for the country to return to normalcy by the Fall of 2021. Mullins said he

would like to see firefighters lead in this effort.

Mullins said he suffered no complications from the two vaccine doses, but did run a fever after the second shot. Once he again, he posted on Twitter: “Majority of people will have effects from the #CovidVaccine 2nd round. For me it was arm soreness at the vaccination site & a fever that started 12 hrs after the shot & lasted 30 hrs. I suggest having Tylenol ready.

These short term effects are much better than the alternative.”

The IAFF recognizes that under some circumstances, including sincere religious objections or a bona fide medical reason, fire fighters may object to being vaccinated. These members may be able to obtain an exemption or reasonable accommodation from their fire departments. The IAFF recommends the following guidelines from the NFPA 1581 Standard: • 4.5.2.5* Members who choose to decline immunizations offered

by the department shall be required to sign a written declination.

• 4.5.2.5(a) Members who decline immunizations should be counseled by the fire department physician. If the member persists in refusing vaccination, a signed written declination is required • 4.5.2.5.1 The declination shall become part of the member’s confidential health database • 4.5.2.5.2 Members shall be allowed to recant a declination at any time and receive the offered immunizations.

While vaccines present minimal side effects, no serious safety or health concerns have been reported at the time this position statement was written. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are molecular RNA based (not a live virus) and both vaccines have a 95% efficacy rate compared to a 40-60% efficacy rate of the influenza (flu) vaccine and provide antibodies and T-cell immunity against COVID-19.

PFFPNC’s Work Makes Firefighters a Vaccine Priority

PFFPNC began working with Governor Roy Cooper’s staff at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020 to ensure North Carolina firefighters were a top priority on PPE distribution, firefighter needs, and protocol changes.

As COVID-19 vaccine development continued to make progress, including the most recent news that the effectiveness rate is at 90%, PFFPNC began engaging the governor’s staff on treating firefighters and paramedics in the same priority category as hospital nurses and doctors.

According to the state’s 140-page plan, entitled North Carolina Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan, firefighters and paramedics will get the vaccine first in North Carolina under Priority 1A, which includes healthcare workers and first responders at high risk of exposure to COVID-19 and workers needed for vaccine distribution.

“We appreciate Governor Cooper working with PFFPNC to protect firefighters by prioritizing us for COVID-19 vaccines,” said PFFPNC President Scott Mullins, who has participated in multiple meetings since February with Emergency Management Director Mike Sprayberry and others on the governor’s COVID-19 team.

Firefighters are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, because of their vital role in responding to 911 medical calls, triaging patients, and providing emergency medical treatment and transport for ill or injured persons.

Protecting firefighters presents unique challenges because of the nature of their first responder work, the frequent need for rapid medical decisionmaking, and emergency interventions with limited information.

Pfizer announced this week that it expects to submit an application for what's called emergency use authorization to the Food and Drug Administration "within days” which means distribution may start as early as December.

Another drugmaker, Moderna, has also said it aims to submit an application in the coming weeks.

It is thought that the general public will not be able to receive a vaccine until the spring or summer of 2021.

Firefighters Get Back to Work in the General Assembly Photos: Top: PFFPNC Political Director Josh Smith met with

Representative Mike Clampitt , a Republican from western North Carolina, on firefighter issues in early February.

Right: PFFPNC Political Director Josh Smith and President Scott Mullins talk with Senators Jim Perry and Vickie Sawyer, both Republicans, about presumptive cancer legislation.

The 2021-2022 North Carolina General Assembly gaveled in a new biennium in January and PFFPNC is taking an aggressive legislate agenda, that includes presumptive cancer legislation, separation allowance, and increasing the number of cancers covered by the line-of-duty-death. .

The new session comes on the heels of a 2019-2020

legislative session in which the North Carolina House easily passed Firefighters Fighting Cancer Act (HB520), Parity for First Responders (HB278) and Provide WC for PTSD in First Responders (HB622) in the April 2019 only to see the bills parked in the Senate Rules Committee for a second consecutive session never to budge.

PFFPNC President Scott Mullins said he has gotten commitments from the North Carolina Senate that this legislative session is going to be different on presumptive cancer.

“The Senate has been candid with us — they philosophically disagree with our legislation when we include workers compensation in our bills,” said President Mullins. “We are working with the Senate and our friends in the House to address workers compensation concerns.”

Mullins said other IAFF affiliates, particularly in the southeast, have enacted presumptive cancer and not used the workers

compensation system in their legislation.

PFFPNC Political Director Josh Smith points to South Carolina, the 49th state to offer presumptive cancer legislation to firefighters leaving North Carolina alone as the only state to without it.

“South Carolina modeled their legislation in part off of Florida’s legislation and chose not to include workers compensation,” said Smith.

Instead the bill includes reimbursing a firefighter, including volunteers and forestry firefighters, up to $12,000 a year for out of pocket medical expenses, an up front payment of $20,000 upon diagnosis, and a $75,000 death benefit.

(North Carolina provides a $100,000 death benefit for certain

firefighter cancers.)

The bill passed the SC House 108-1 after the Senate passed the legislation earlier in the session. Both chambers are led by Republican majorities.

Another North Carolina firefighter died from occupational cancer this week. Ramziddin ElAmin, a 21-year veteran of the Greensboro Fire Department and a proud member of the Professional Fire Fighters of Greensboro/Local 947, died on January 3. He was 48 years old and was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma in August.

In Memoriam

El-Amin was assigned to Engine 19 on B-Shift. In August, he was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma. Since that time, he battled courageously against the cancer, but succumbed this week in the ICU at Chapel Hill.

PFFPNC President Scott Mullins said El-Amin’s death is a reminder that occupational cancers kill more firefighters every year than fires, and that North Carolina is the only state left in the country without presumptive coverage for those fighting the disease.

“El-Amin’s death is in a long line of North Carolina firefighters we lay to rest every year, and PFFPNC will continue to fight for this profession in his name and in his memory,” said Mullins. “ElAmin, like every firefighter who is diagnosed with cancer, deserves the tools to fight this horrible disease. And in death, their families deserve more.”

According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, a firefighter is 1.51 times at a greater risk of a lymphoma diagnosis than the general population. NIOSH also reports that firefighters stand a 9% greater chance of being diagnosed with cancer and 14% greater chance of dying of cancer than the average person.

Funeral Services for El-Amin will be held on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 12:00 pm in the Cape Fear Conference B, Headquarters. Burial will follow in Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery. There will be a viewing on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 from 11:00am to 12:00 pm at Cape Fear Conference B Headquarters.

Missing Karen

Today marks 2 years since the loss of Asheville firefighter Karen “Skippy” Shuart, who succumbed to occupational cancer at age 58.

Shuart died in January 2019 after being diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Shuart began her career with the Asheville Fire Department in 1994 and served her community for 25 years. As a dedicated member, Karen moved through the ranks during her tenure from firefighter, to engineer, to assistant fire marshal.

“We wish we could say that we have seen progress in terms of presumptive cancer coverage for firefighters in NC since Karen’s death, but we haven’t,” said Asheville Fire Fighters Association President Scott Mullins. “Instead we have seen legislation that would provide these protections flounder in the NC General Assembly.”

North Carolina now holds the dubious claim of being the only state in the nation without any sort of presumptive cancer law for firefighters while continuing to battle occupational cancer at alarming rates.

In September 2019, the North Carolina Industrial Commission ruled Shuart’s death as a line of duty death. The ruling validated the growing crisis of the increase in cancer among firefighters, which is now the leading cause of death.

The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) velds its annual Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Remembrance on September 19, 2020. The names of 245 firefighters and emergency medical personnel who died in the line of duty were etched onto the Wall of Honor at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“The International Association of Fire Fighters remains committed to honoring our fallen firefighters and making sure their families know their loved ones will never be forgotten,” says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. “Though we are unable to hold our beautiful ceremony in person, the IAFF will still pause to honor our brothers and sisters who lost their lives in the line of duty.”

DC NEWS President Joe Biden repealed three executive orders that limited collective bargaining and union time for federal fire fighters, and eliminated progressive discipline:

• Executive Order 13836 of May 25, 2018 (Developing Efficient, Effective, and Cost-Reducing Approaches to Federal Sector Collective Bargaining) • Executive Order 13837 of May 25, 2018 (Ensuring Transparency, Accountability, and Efficiency in Taxpayer-Funded Union Time Use) • Executive Order 13839 of May 25, 2018 (Promoting Accountability and Streamlining Removal Procedures Consistent with Merit System Principles Biden’s executive order also instructs agencies to engage in collective bargaining with federal employees and eliminates Schedule F, which threatened protections of career employees.

On January 20, 2021, President Biden directed federal agencies to review and take appropriate action to address regulations that are harmful to the public health. Included in the list of regulations to be reviewed are a number of regulations related to toxic flame retardants — regulations that the IAFF opposed because they did not fully take the health and safety of fire fighters and their unique exposure to such chemicals into account. Also subject to review is a regulation governing the transportation of liquefied natural gas by rail, which the IAFF also opposed as it put the safety of fire fighters and the public at risk.

On January 20 and January 21, 2021, President Biden signed a series of executive orders that will provide fire fighters with additional resources and protections as we continue to serve on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biden also fired the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) general counsel, Peter Robb, who carried out the Trump administration’s anti-worker, antiunion policies. Biden will need to nominate a replacement for this position responsible for prosecuting cases in front of the NLRB. Meanwhile, Biden has already nominated Boston Mayor Marty Walsh — a long-time advocate of fire fighters and organized labor — to serve as Secretary of Labor.

Working Together PFFPNC has been in formal meetings with leaders from the NC State Firefighters Association and the NC Association of Fire Chiefs over the last year to discuss legislative priorities and strategies for enacting profire service legislation in the 2021 General Assembly session.

PFFPNC President Scott Mullins, Political Director Josh Smith, and DVP Ben Bobzien participated in a joint virtual meeting on Tuesday to discuss those legislative priorities, which includes support for presumptive cancer legislation, separation allowance, and including more cancers in the Line of Duty Death benefit.

“PFFPNC looks forward to a more coordinated effort in the coming session among these groups as we all work to advance the fire service and the profession of firefighting,” said Mullins. “PFFPNC is pushing these ally organizations to coordinate conversations with legislators, to make joint asks when possible, and to use unified messaging on our bills.”

Joint meetings will continue throughout the 2021 session.
