π₯ποΈ When #firefighters make their voices heard, change happens.
The Honor Act, repeal of WEP and GPO, and permanent funding for the 9/11 WTCHP are proof of what we can achieve together.
Thank you to everyone who came to #LegCon26!

It's happening! The Bellevue Firefighters Community Support Foundation, on behalf of the Jubilee REACH is collecting new, unwrapped toys for the Jubilee Elves Program! Toy donations for all ages, preschool through teens, are accepted at all Bellevue fire stations now through December 15.
Together, we can brighten the holidays and remind our youth they are cherished members of our community!
Winds are peaking now for Puget Sound, and will continue to peak over the next few hours. Winds will slowly subside later tonight into early Sunday morning. Additional power outages are expected tonight with the gusty winds. #WAwx
π₯ #OnThisDay in #firefighterhistory we celebrate the anniversary of the 1873 founding of the @IAFC.
A frequent collaborator with the #IAFF, the IAFC provides a forum for fire and emergency service chiefs to exchange ideas and improve their profession.
π₯"Unions lift people up and help them achieve their dreams. That's what unions do," @SenAmyKlobuchar at #LegCon25.
Thank you, Senator for all you do to support #firefighters in Minnesota and across the country.
Congratulations to Janice Zahn who was appointed by the Council today to serve as State Representative for the 41st Legislative District. She replaces Tana Senn, who was appointed by @BobFergusonGov to lead the Washington State Dept of Children, Youth and Families.
Another group of western Washington first responders are on their way to states damaged by Hurricane Helene. However, this time, theyβre also going to be standing by to respond to any damage caused by a new tropical system: Milton. https://t.co/XntwHJMohP

If @Boeing was serious about #safety, it would pay its fire fighters a fair, living wage. Those in nearby cities make up to 30% more than those protecting Boeing's factories, planes, and people.

With the heaviest of hearts, we are confirming the line-of-duty loss of one of our own #WSP troopers after they were tragically struck by a motorist on Interstate 5 in #Marysville this morning.
More information will be provided as it is available.
Bellevue Fire rope rescue technicians will be dangling from the side Lincoln Square South today. This training is invaluable and helps our teams practice in real world situations.

Our hearts are with communities affected by these fires and Firefighters working to protect them.
