This statement was written by a fellow firefighter and has been making the rounds. Please support our fellow members of our community who are struggling in these challenging times. I am a Firefighter - a frontline worker, and to be honest I don't need free pizza or free cups of coffee. I don't need money off vouchers etc. I am grateful that I won’t be losing all my income due to this virus and as much as I greatly appreciate the gesture, please please please offer a free cup of coffee or pizza to the families who are struggling to feed their children, the older generation or self employed and to anyone else who is suffering financially from Covid-19 measures and are not covered by government grants or loans.
Thanks to our friends at Graham Fire & Rescue for this guide to help follow Jay Inslee's Stay at Home order! Please follow all current guidelines to help us minimize the spread of COVID-19!
