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.

To the friends, family, and neighbors across North Whatcom Fire & Rescue: you took the time to understand what this levy meant, you asked the hard questions, and you voted. That means more to us than we can put into words.
Thank you for having our backs. For the conversations at the mailbox, in the driveway, and over a burger at the BBQ. For the yard signs, the shared posts, the calls to your neighbors. For trusting us with something as important as your fire and EMS service.
Your firefighters are out on the streets tonight spreading the word. Please vote YES on the North Whatcom Fire & Rescue (Fire District 21) and Whatcom County Fire District 1 levy lid lifts!
Ballots must be in an official drop box by 8:00 PM tomorrow.
