High Point Firefighters Association

🚒 Historic Win for High Point Firefighters.

This morning, the City of High Point Government City Council voted 5–3 to extend the Special Separation Allowance (SSA) to our firefighters — a benefit that moves us one meaningful step closer to retiring with dignity.

While we remain encouraged by this vote, we understand the final framework and funding structure have yet to be determined. We look forward to working with city leadership on a program that mirrors the SSA already in place for our police officers — as expressed by City Manager Logan Ford during today's meeting.

We are grateful to the council members who cast their votes in favor of our firefighters:

✅ Mayor Jefferson
✅ Councilman Andrew
✅ Councilman Holmes
✅ Councilmember Dr. Harman
✅ Councilmember Peters

This benefit strengthens the City of High Point Fire Department's ability to attract and retain the talented men and women who protect our community every day. The work continues, but today, we celebrate a step in the right direction.

Good fathers do three things: they provide, they
nurture and they guide.

Happy Father’s Day from the High Point Firefighters Association!
