Others

• New York State Professional Fire Fighters Association (NYSPFFA): State-level IAFF affiliate covering professional firefighters across New York. Listed as a Core partner of Local 628. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — provides state-level advocacy that Local 628 leverages but does not itself offer member services.
