The Mississippi Fire Chiefs Association introduced a concept in 2024, giving firefighters extra credit toward retirement, but that measure did not receive any major support.Firefighters in Mississippi worried about benefits after retirement age extended
www.wlox.com
Fire Departments in Mississippi are starting to feel the effects of a bill passed back in March. Recently, much attention has been paid to recent changes to PERS with the creation of Tier 5 at the recommendation of the PERS Board, approved by the MS Legislature, and signed by Governor Reeves. We certainly recognize and appreciate the enormous responsibility and difficult decisions involved in managing such a large financial system. We are also appreciative of the hard work by all involved to make sure our retirement system, which touches people across all lines of work, is strong and solvent for future generations. With that being said, the Mississippi Fire Chiefs Association and the Mississippi Fire Fighters Association would be remiss if we did not, once again, point out the detriment of a 35-year retirement date for firefighters in Mississippi.![]()
![]()
For several years, these associations, along with sister fire service associations, have worked behind the scenes to stress the point of keeping the retirement age for firefighters to 30 years at the longest. For example, in 2024 we introduced the concept that would give firefighters and law enforcement officers 1 year extra credit for every 4 years worked. Unfortunately, this never received support. ![]()
![]()
So why is this important? First the physical and mental demands placed on firefighters each and everyday take a costly toll on first responders. This is easily found just by looking at all the recent actions the State of Mississippi has taken to help protect our first responders. We currently have the MS First Responders Health and Safety Act (SB 2835 passed in 2019), approved premium pay for first responders during COVID-19 due to increased health risk involved in response during this time, and most recently the MS First Responder PTSD and Suicide Prevention Task Force (HB1268 passed in 2025) that demonstrate the State’s desire to address the physical and mental challenges our first responders face on a daily basis. The same reasons it was important for this legislation to pass are the very reasons we must address the recent increase in retirement age. It is safe to say we all agree our first responders give of their physical and mental equity to serve the citizens of this great state.![]()
![]()
For comparison, in Alabama, the retirement age is 62 (56 for state police, certified full-time firefighters, and law enforcement officers with 10 years or more of service). In Louisiana, a firefighter is eligible to receive benefits if they have at least 12 years of service and at least age 55, at least 20 years of service at least age 50, or at least 25 years of service at any age. Finally, as recent as 2024, the Tennessee Legislature passed early retirement for eligible emergency medical personnel, police officer, or firefighter upon attainment of 25 years of credible service. The evidence supports the concept of a firefighter being in a high-stress, high-demand job both physically and mentally. To ask our first responder to submit to this for 35 years is not a reasonable request. Obviously, this is a brief analysis of retirement age in neighboring states and not a comprehensive comparison of the entire retirement plan.![]()
![]()
We strongly urge the leadership of the MS Legislature to readdress the 35-year retirement age for firefighters in the Great State of Mississippi during the 2026 Legislative Session. We would propose an option, as we did previously, of one year of additional service for each four years of credible service. Please follow the decisions made previously in recognition of the dangers and stress placed on our first responders by revisiting the 35-year retirement requirement. We thank you for your dedication in the past to our first responder community and for being willing to listen and take into consideration the health and safety of those who protect us on a daily basis.![]()

1. Don’t forget Lifetime Member nominations. If you have someone who you feel is deserving of the Lifetime Membership, please forward a letter of recommendation to us as soon as you can. While there is not deadline, we do prefer to have them before the conference so the Executive Board can review those and make a recommendation to the body during the conference.![]()
2. At midwinter we mentioned the website and association database were going through a revamp. I’m very happy to say the process is moving along very nicely. We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at this last week. I am confident you will be very pleased. The new website will be very user friendly. It will also have an online portal where you can renew your membership. We will have a session during the conference about all of the upgrades and features that will be available. You don’t want to miss this.![]()
3. We will have two breakout sessions during the firefighter’s conference that are geared toward leadership in the fire service. These sessions will cover Fire Department Leadership and Fire Department Management. Specifically they will be geared towards people who are new to the role of Asst. Chief/Chief or those who aspire to be a chief officer one day. We have placed these in the firefighter portion of the conference so anyone who has aspirations can attend. If you will have young future leaders at the conference, please encourage them to attend these sessions. Also, if you have been a chief officer for some time, this will count toward your training hours for that position. We will have a sign in sheet at each session and offer a certificate of training through the MSFCA for these two sessions.![]()
Again, I look forward to seeing you in Natchez. Stay safe and have a great day.![]()

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of recently retired Fire Inspector Frank Beasley. Inspector Beasley dedicated 36 years of his life to the Clarksdale Fire Department and the citizens of Clarksdale. Frank was an advocate for his community, where his life’s work was not only dedicated to the fire service, but he also spent countless hours directing youth programs. He was well known and liked throughout the whole city. He brought joy to many faces through his mentoring programs, sports organizations and community outreach programs through the fire department. Everyone at CFD would like to express our deepest love and condolences to our brother’s family during this time. We ask that the community lift them up in your prayers. Services will be announced by his family.
