It was such a great event! Thanks to everyone who put it on!
What a wonderful day!
Way to go BFD
Yesterday was International Firefighter's Day and at station 1, on Broadway, we had one of the most diverse crews that our department has ever seen. We were staffed with an all female engine company and our BLS unit was staffed by two people of color. Thank you to all of our outstanding firefighters and paramedics and their continued commitment to serve the people of Bellingham and Whatcom County! ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks for all you do BFD. I just want the best firefighters regardless of race, gender, orientation, etc. BTW, wasn’t National Firefighters day to honor our fallen firefighters, not diversity?
Proud and appreciate each and everyone of our fire fighters no matter their sex/color.
International Firefighters' Day is observed on May 4, in order to honour firefighters for their service internationally, remember firefighters who lost their lives during service and to commemorate firefighters killed in the September 11 attacks. RIP 🙏 Never Forgotten!
