π₯ L3219 FIREFIGHTERS β ALL IN FOR THE FIRE SERVICE π₯
This month, members of IAFF Local 3219 traveled to Arlington, Texas, to take part in the 58th IAFF Convention alongside firefighters and paramedics from across the United States and Canada.
This gathering is about much more than a week in Texas. Itβs an opportunity for firefighters to have a voice in the direction of our union, our profession, and the future of fire and EMS.
Delegates tackled the issues that matter to our members and the communities we serve β from staffing and safety to training, occupational health, research, organizing and the future of the fire service.
And the work produced real results. 57 resolutions were adopted, including initiatives to:
π Strengthen fire service training and professional development
π§βπ Expand organizing efforts and build a stronger collective voice for firefighters
π§ Invest in research into occupational neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, Parkinsonβs and Alzheimerβs
π₯Ό Strengthen protections surrounding firefighter PPE and exposure to carcinogens
π€ Prepare firefighters and the union for emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence
π Expand opportunities to support firefighters and emergency medical workers around the world
The convention also reinforced something we know here at Local 3219: when firefighters stand together, our voice carries farther.
Our members donβt just show up to work β they show up to advocate for safer working conditions, stronger communities, better protections and a stronger future for the fire service.
Weβre proud of our L3219 members who took the time to represent Marysville, Tulalip Bay and San Juan on the national stage.
One union. One voice. All in. πͺπΌπ₯

Rest in Peace Brother Mike π€With heavy hearts, the WSCFF reports the death of Retirees Association board member Mike Cooper, IAFF 1760, August 20, 2026. Brother Cooper passed peacefully, surrounded by his family, after an extended illness.
The son of a firefighter, Mike served as a member of the Shoreline Fire Department for more than 30 years. He served as president of IAFF Local 1760 for many years.
In addition to his fire service career, Mike served as Edmonds Mayor, Elma City Council member, and four terms representing the people of Washingtonβs 21st Legislative District in the House of Representatives
Mike was a champion for working families and the fire service. As a State Representative, he worked to reduce LEOFF 2 retirement age to 53, expand presumptive coverage for firefighters, pass I-790, and implement the LEOFF Plan 2 governance board.
In 2010, Mike was awarded the Walt Lambert Labor Leader award by the WSCFF. He was elected to the Retirees Association Board in 2023.
Mike was a champion, not only for firefighters, but for all workers in Washington. He will be missed.
Information about a memorial service will be shared when available. Mikeβs family asks that, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the WSCFF Cancer Foundation. ... See MoreSee Less

Jimothy would be proud!!
π¦ Another successful wildlife rescue by Engine 66! π¦
Our crew responded to help a baby raccoon that had become trapped in a tree. After carefully freeing the young raccoon, your Marysville Firefighters were able to safely reunite the baby with its mother. β€οΈ
Our firefighters rely on essential training, specialized tools, and creative problem-solving in all aspects of serving our community. While our spreadersβcommonly known as the βJaws of Lifeββare typically used during vehicle extrications to rescue people trapped in car accidents, sometimes those same tools can be used to help even the smallest members of our community. π¦
In this case, our crew carefully used the spreaders to gently separate the tree and free the raccoonβs hand, allowing this little one to be safely reunited with its mother.
Another great job by Engine 66, using the skills and tools we train with every day to help our communityβboth two-legged and four-legged! πβ€οΈπ¦ ... See MoreSee Less

π₯ Rivals on the field. Partners in the community.
This weekend, members of the Marysville Fire District and Marysville Police Department traded turnout gear and badges for gloves and bats as they faced off in a charity softball game at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
While there may have been a little friendly competition between our two teams, the real winners were the members of our community. Events like these remind us that, regardless of who comes out on top, weβre all working toward the same goalβserving and supporting the people of Marysville.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to cheer, volunteer, and support this great cause. We appreciate the opportunity to strengthen the partnership between our agencies while giving back to the community we are proud to serve.
Until next yearβs rematchβ¦ βΎπππβ€οΈ
