Today we recognize International Firefighters’ Day — a day to honor the dedication, sacrifice, and service of firefighters everywhere.
We’re proud to stand alongside the members of Local 3219, whose commitment to training, teamwork, and excellence ensures we are always ready to answer the call when our community needs us most. From early mornings on the drill ground to late-night calls, their professionalism and resilience never go unnoticed.
We also want to recognize the surrounding agencies we train with. The relationships we build and the time we invest together sharpen our skills, strengthen our coordination, and ultimately make us better firefighters for the people we serve.
This job is bigger than any one department — it’s a brotherhood and sisterhood built on trust, preparation, and service.
To all firefighters near and far: thank you for what you do, today and every day. Stay safe.

This week we are proud to recognize Brother Dean Shelton, a proud active dues-paying member of IAFF Local 3219, who is representing our Local at the STRIVE Convention in Las Vegas—not just as an attendee, but as an instructor helping educate and mentor union leaders from across the country.
Dean’s commitment to the labor movement and the fire service spans decades. He has served Local 3219 as both President and Secretary/Treasurer, currently serves as Vice President and 8th District Representative for the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, and has spent years fighting for firefighters at the local, state, and national levels.
Dean has been a tireless advocate for firefighter health and safety, collective bargaining rights, political action, and labor solidarity. He has worked alongside unions across Washington, lobbied for legislation protecting firefighters, and strengthened relationships throughout the IAFF’s 7th District. In recognition of his dedication, Dean was honored by the IAFF for his outstanding leadership and service.
From serving as a Marysville captain and paramedic, to leading Local 3219, to teaching the next generation of union leaders at STRIVE, Dean continues to show what it means to live the values of our union every day.
Thank you, Brother Shelton, for representing Local 3219 with pride and for your continued service to our members and our profession. #IAFF #L3219 #STRIVE #UnionStrong #FireFighters WSCFF ... See MoreSee Less

Station 61 C-Shift put in the work today with a brutal work out evolution 💪🏽🔥 A grind of running and heavy farmer’s carries that tested lungs, legs, and mental toughness every step of the way.
Workouts like this aren’t just about fitness — they build the trust, grit, and communication that carry over directly to the fireground. When one slows down, another steps up. When the load gets heavy, the team gets stronger. 🤝
Proud of this crew for pushing each other, finishing together, and proving once again that our strength comes from camaraderie as much as conditioning.
Train hard. Work harder. Show up for each other. 🚒

Huge congratulations to Marysville Firefighter Josiah Dickinson for completing the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Firefighter Stairclimb today at the Columbia Center!
Josiah climbed all 69 floors in full firefighter gear, pushing himself step by step to raise funds and awareness in the fight against blood cancer. Through his efforts and the incredible support of our community, he helped raise money that will go directly toward research, patient support, and lifesaving treatments through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
We are incredibly proud to have Josiah representing Marysville Fire District and showing what it means to serve both on and off duty. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this important cause.
Strong work, Josiah! 💪🚒🧗♂️ #MarysvilleFire #FirefighterStairclimb #LLS #FirefightersAgainstCancer ... See MoreSee Less
