It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of retired Bellingham Firefighter Bob Coston, who passed away on June 10th at age 66 after a courageous battle with ALS.
Bob devoted nearly three decades to the Bellingham Fire Department, retiring in 2022. His humor, dedication to the job, and care for others (including all the incredible meals he loved preparing for his Fairhaven Station 2 crew) are part of the legacy he leaves with us.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Debbie, their children, and the entire Coston family. ... See MoreSee Less
Today, we remember all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
343 FDNY firefighters lost their lives that day. In the 25 years since, more than 600 additional FDNY members have died from illnesses related to their service. The toll continues to rise.
We honor their sacrifice, stand with their families, and remember those still living with the consequences of that day.
As this long weekend comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who fought for the rights we have as workers today.
It's easy to forget that what most of us consider normal working conditions weren't always normal. The 40-hour work week, minimum wage, child labor laws, collective bargaining rights... all of it was won by the people who came before us.
Thank you to those who fought for better working conditions, and to those still fighting for the ones who come after.This #LaborDay, we honor the generations of #IAFF members who have built our union and those carrying it forward today.
Your Whatcom County Firefighters are out collecting donations to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association and families living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related diseases.
