“How caring they were in that moment, it was exactly what we needed.”
When her 2-year-old daughter fell into a fire pit and suffered serious burns, Whatcom County Fire District 1 arrived almost instantly. Firefighters, EMS, and paramedics poured in, helped the family make hard decisions, and offered comfort in a terrifying moment, from fetching a stuffed animal for her daughter to giving mom a much-needed hug. As parents themselves, they understood how scary it was. District 1 is always there for us. Now it’s our turn to be there for them. Please vote yes on the levy lid lift.

When you call 911, every second counts.

This November’s levy lid lift isn’t a new tax. It restores the existing levy to a rate that can sustain emergency services for years to come. Please vote yes so we can keep arriving quickly when you need us most. ... See MoreSee Less
