Andrew Davis President of the Raleigh Professional Fire Fighters Association

When Raleigh city council members meet Monday to begin mulling over the FY26 proposed budget, one group of first responders will be closely watching what's included. The Raleigh Professional Fire Fighters Association is calling on leaders to include separation allowance for firefighters. It's a financial benefit for eligible people leaving the department until they reach the age of 62 and become eligible for Social Security. Andrew Davis, President of the Raleigh Professional Fire Fighters Association, discussed their requests with Jeff Hamlin.
