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 Associationβ€” 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.

Stand with those who stand with us!

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 strengthβ€”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 Foundationβ€”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.

We are heartbroken by the devastating events that unfolded yesterday in Idaho.

πŸ–€ Kootenai County Firefighters Local 2856 has lost one of its members.
πŸ–€ 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 unitedβ€”today and always.
