The Denton Fire Fighters Association in Denton, Texas organized and became affiliated with the International Association of Fire Fighters on November 15, 1957 with a charter membership of 12 Denton firefighters. Our membership has now grown to approximately 150 members strong and continues to grow.

    The DFFA has a long history of being politically involved throughout the City of Denton and has worked diligently to preserve pay, safety and working conditions for its members. Over the last 30 years in particular, we have made great strides in the development of our association and fire department by effectively communicating and lobbying with our local government on those issues that effect us.

    The key to true political clout is through community involvement. Local 1291 is involved in our community in a variety of ways, including the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), Denton Chamber of Commerce, Project Grad Night for the local high schools, providing fire safety materials to local school children during Fire Prevention Month, Blue Ribbon Youth Fair and Rodeo and hosting an annual City Council Candidate Forum.

 DFFA Mission Statement

   The Denton Fire Fighters Association will provide the best service possible to the Citizens of Denton while ensuring the safest working conditions, the best compensation and benefits for its members.

DFFA Vision Statement

   The Denton Fire Fighters Association will work with the City of Denton to obtain the highest compensation and benefits packages and to guarantee the safest working conditions through training and education for its members. The DFFA will continue to grow our membership through our commitment to maintain the highest level of representation in all facets of our department, our city and political venues.
