IAFF Local 106

Bellingham, WA 98227
🍁 Local 106 Has Been Busy! 🍁
We've had many opportunities to support our community this year, and we couldn’t be prouder of the work our members have done.
🔥 Operation Warm – Central Elementary
On Wednesday, our Operation Warm event at Central Elementary in Ferndale was a huge success! We provided 304 brand-new winter coats to local students, ensuring they stay warm and ready for the colder months ahead.
⚾🏀 Supporting Local Youth Sports
Earlier this spring, Local 106 proudly supported several youth sports programs across Whatcom County, including:
Lynden Baseball – Co-ed, ~120 kids (K–2)
Bellingham Boys & Girls Club Baseball – 1 co-ed team, 13 kids
Lynden Super Sonics – Middle school girls basketball
Together, these programs received $2,500 in support from the union.
🧥 More Coat Support Coming Up
Looking ahead, we’ll be helping provide coats for Lighthouse Mission, the YWCA Women’s Shelter, and Family and Community Services through the local school districts to continue supporting families in need this winter.
Thank you to everyone who makes these efforts possible. ... See MoreSee Less

🔥 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 - WCFD 21 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.
