Founded on November 22nd, 1918, the London Professional Firefighters Association Local 142 has a long and proud history serving the citizens of London, Ontario. We are a labour organization representing the approximately 400 men and women of the London Fire Department employed in the Firefighting, Fire Prevention, Communications, Training, Clerical, Stores and Apparatus Divisions. The LPFFA is affiliated with the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association and the International Association of Firefighters.
Most Londoners do not get to meet the members of the London Professional Fire Fighters Association in the course of our duties as we respond to calls assisting the community on some of the worse days of their life. Our association consists of front line firefighters and support staff who proudly serve our community responding to a multitude of emergency responses, preventing the loss of life, and the destruction of property and the environment

October 10th is World Mental Health Day.
1 in 7 people live with a mental health disorder. For firefighters and first responders, the challenges of our job can add another layer to that struggle. Let’s continue to look out for one another, break the stigma, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
