🔥 We need your help keeping Whatcom kids warm this winter! 🔥
Every year, Local 106 partners with Operation Warm to provide brand-new winter coats to kids in need across Whatcom County. Because Operation Warm works directly with manufacturers, we’re able to purchase high-quality coats at a low cost — stretching every donation further.
Just $25 provides a new winter coat for a child in need.
Last year, we provided 408 coats across Whatcom County schools. This year, our goal is 500 coats — but we can’t get there without your help! 💛
The smiles on kids’ faces as we fit them in their new coats are unforgettable — and it’s only possible thanks to your support.
👉 Please join us in supporting Operation Warm and making sure no child in Whatcom County faces winter without a coat.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Never Forget – 9/11 Memorial at the Peace Arch
Today, members of Whatcom County Fire Departments (Local 106) joined with our brothers and sisters from across British Columbia to honor the fallen heroes of September 11, 2001.
The annual 9/11 Memorial Ride and Ceremony concluded at the Peace Arch, bringing together fire departments, first responders, and community members from both sides of the border. Departments from across Whatcom County and Canada stood shoulder to shoulder in remembrance.
This ceremony was not only about reflection, but about unity—recognizing the bravery and sacrifice of all those who responded on that tragic day, and ensuring that their legacy is never forgotten.
We remember the 343 firefighters, 72 law enforcement officers, 55 military personnel, and the thousands of civilians whose lives were lost.
🙏 A special thank-you to North Whatcom Fire and Rescue for their significant contributions in helping make this event possible.
We will never forget.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lieutenant Larry Doll of the Seattle Fire Department. Lt. Doll faithfully served the Seattle community for 19 years as a Firefighter, Paramedic, Lieutenant, and Medical Services Officer. He also served our nation honorably in the United States Marine Corps. His legacy of dedication, service, and brotherhood will not be forgotten. We hold his family, friends, and fellow firefighters in our hearts during this difficult time. Rest easy, Brother.We are heartbroken to share that Lieutenant Larry Doll passed away Monday following a medical emergency experienced on Aug. 13 while off-duty. Lt. Larry Doll was 55 years old and began employment with the Seattle Fire Department in 2006 as a member of Recruit Class 91. He dedicated 19 years of his life serving the Seattle community, spending time working on Engines 11 and 31 before becoming a firefighter/paramedic in 2012. In 2023, Larry promoted to lieutenant and later became one of our Medical Services Officers overseeing the paramedics on duty for A platoon. Lt. Doll also served our nation honorably as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Larry was surrounded by close family members in his final moments. We are holding them, his friends and fellow colleagues close in our hearts as we grieve his loss - may he rest in peace. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for supporting Fill the Boot!
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Local 106’s Fill the Boot event at Meridian and Bakerview on July 11th! We’re incredibly grateful for your generosity and are excited to share that we raised $7,889 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association— we couldn’t have done it without you.
A big thank you as well to all the Local 106 firefighters who donated their time (and sweat) collecting donations in the summer heat. Your effort made this possible.
We’re proud to be part of a community that always steps up.

Local 106 was honored to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Idaho this past week as we paid tribute to the fallen firefighters from Locals 710 and 2856.
In the face of unimaginable loss, these Locals demonstrated incredible strength—and we were proud to answer the call to support them.
In partnership with the Bellingham Whatcom Firefighters Benevolent Foundation, our union contributed to both the families and the memorial efforts. These contributions were made possible by our dues-paying members and all who continue to support the Benevolent Foundation—thank you for making this vital support possible.
We extend our deepest thanks to the five members of Local 106 who traveled to Idaho to represent our Local at the services. Their presence was a powerful reminder of the unity, respect, and brotherhood that define the fire service.
Stay safe. Stay united. ... See MoreSee Less

We are heartbroken by the devastating events that unfolded yesterday in Idaho.
🖤 Kootenai County Firefighters Local 2856 has lost one of its members.
🖤 Coeur d’Alene Firefighters Local 710 has lost one member, and another remains hospitalized in stable condition.
This was a senseless and tragic act of violence against those who answered the call to serve.
Local 106 is actively working with the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters to coordinate support for the families, as well as our brothers and sisters in IAFF Local 710 and IAFF Local 2856.
Our hearts are with all those impacted. We will stand united—today and always. ... See MoreSee Less

The memorial will take place on June 22nd at 1:00 PM at the Washington State Capitol – where Leslee will be honored alongside other fallen firefighters.
The IAFF-MG’s 2025 Ribbon Ride began on June 9 and includes stops in Walla Walla, Blaine, Edmonds, Tacoma, and Central Pierce—carrying with it the names and memories of those we’ve lost in service.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Station 61 to show support, and to the IAFF-MG for ensuring that Leslee’s ribbon and legacy are carried with honor.
