The primary objective of this organization is to promote the welfare of Call and Volunteer Fire/EMS Companies and their members by rendering assistance of every type and nature whenever possible.
In late 1987 Call/Volunteer Firefighters were excluded from previously enjoyed death and disability benefits under the state retirement law.
It became apparent from this meeting that the Call/Volunteers lacked organization and adequate representation in matters concerning them on the state level.
On April 23, 1990, the Steering Committee Report was presented and unanimously accepted with a couple of minor modifications.
On April 30, 1990, this group met again and decided to do a mailing to survey the cities and towns across the state to solicit representation that would make this a true Massachusetts Call/Volunteer Firefighters' Association.
