It was a busy night for Bellingham’s Local 106 Members! In the early hours, crews responded to a boat fire at Squalicum Harbor Marina, extinguishing flames on a 68' fishing boat with the help of the Salish Star fireboat. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Heavy rains also led to multiple water-related emergencies. A mudslide on I-5 near the Alabama pedestrian overpass trapped two vehicles in two feet of mud, though everyone remained uninjured. Crews helped clear a blocked culvert, while Public Works and City Engineers assessed the area’s stability. ... See MoreSee Less
