🇺🇸 VETERANS DAY | HONORING THOSE WHO SERVED 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to recognize and honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Military. Their courage, sacrifice, dedication, and commitment to protecting our freedoms deserve our gratitude every single day.

This Veterans Day, we are especially proud to spotlight Captain Ryan Carbary and his wife, Desiree Carbary, whose story of service began in the United States Army, where the two met.

Both Ryan and Desiree proudly served four years in the Army and were stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, during their time in uniform.

Ryan served as an E-5 Sergeant and Forward Observer, completing two overseas deployments, one to Iraq and one to Afghanistan.

Desiree also served as an E-5 Sergeant, working as a Human Intelligence Collector and completing one deployment to Afghanistan.

Together, their service represents years of commitment, sacrifice, and dedication to something bigger than themselves. Their military journey not only shaped their lives and careers, but also brought them together as a family.

Military service is an honor that extends far beyond the individual wearing the uniform. It impacts spouses, families, and loved ones who share in the sacrifices and challenges along the way. We are incredibly proud to recognize Ryan and Desiree and grateful for the time they dedicated to serving our country.

To Ryan, Desiree, and all the veterans who have answered the call to serve, thank you. Your service matters, your sacrifices are not forgotten, and your commitment to this country deserves our deepest respect.

From all of us at Marysville Fire District, thank you for your service!

🇺🇸 WE HONOR YOU. WE THANK YOU. WE REMEMBER. 🇺🇸 ... See MoreSee Less

🚑 365 DAYS OF PARAMEDIC SCHOOL! 🎉

One year ago today, October 8, 2025, L3219 members Hailey Gribble, Ryan Bergstrom, and Hayley Peterson began their journey through the Bellingham Technical College Paramedic Program, diving into a year of intensive paramedic education starting with Anatomy & Physiology. Fast forward to today, October 8, 2026, and they’ve officially completed 365 days of combined schooling! 💪📚

And what makes today even more special? It’s also Hailey Gribble’s birthday! 🎂🥳 What a way to celebrate another trip around the sun, with a whole year of hard work, dedication, and growth in the books!

But they aren’t quite done yet! These three will return to their home department, Marysville Fire District, to complete the final phase of their education through Capstone, bringing them one step closer to becoming paramedics and serving our community in a whole new capacity. 🚒❤️

And as one chapter closes, another begins! This week, fellow MFD member and L3219 member Matt Holguin, who isn’t pictured, is starting his own paramedic journey through the Bellingham Paramedic Program.

The torch is officially being passed! 🔥

Congratulations to Hailey, Ryan, and Hayley on this incredible milestone, and happy birthday, Hailey! Best of luck as you tackle Capstone and finish strong. And Matt, welcome to the journey! We’re cheering you on every step of the way.

365 days down. The finish line is in sight. The future of MFD EMS is looking bright! 🚑👏 ... See MoreSee Less
