*Dallas Black Firefighters Association, Inc.

The Dallas Black Fire Fighters Association, a 501©3 organization, is one of 155 chapters of the International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters. Originally called the 182 Social Club, the Dallas chapter had only nine members. Henry Majors, the first president elected in 1972, led the efforts of the small group to unify the black firefighters in Dallas. In 1983, the chapter was renamed as the Dallas Black Fire Fighters Association.
