UDS Body Scan sign ups

, , , , , ,

Good Afternoon Brothers and Sisters-

Our apologies for the delay in getting this scheduling tool out for Ultrasounds.  The Local worked out an agreement with the employer to allow for these scans to be scheduled both on and off duty.  If you click the link below you will open a PDF with an embedded link to schedule your ultrasound for the week of October 23-27.  In order to simplify this for BC’s, if you are planning to participate on duty, please attempt to coordinate schedules with your crew if more than one of you plan to participate.  Reminder that this sign up is on a first come, first serve basis and spouses and partners are welcome.  You will receive a bill/receipt directly from UDS which you will use if you are going to seek FSA/HSA reimbursement.  Please reach out to Doug or Evan with questions.

Thank you from Bellevue Fire!

, ,

Here is the Facebook post from our brothers and sisters in Bellevue, thanking us for helping their crews to attend the funeral for Officer Jackson.

 

“Yesterday, our crews both on-duty and off were honored to participate in the celebration of life for Officer Jordan Jackson. From lining the processional route with apparatus, displaying the aerial flag garrison, leading the pipes and drums, activating our honor guard, and providing dedicated staff for his family, we joined hundreds of police and firefighters from across North America to show support both for Officer Jackson’s family as well as our aching police department.
While it goes without saying that we would have moved mountains to participate, we want to acknowledge the following fire departments for stepping up to cover our stations so that we could walk alongside our brothers and sisters. Eastside Fire & Rescue, Shoreline Fire Department, Kirkland Firefighters and Redmond WA Fire thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Retired Fire Chief Bob Ely

It is with sadness that we inform you all that former Kirkland Fire Chief, Bob Ely, passed away the night of September 15, 2021.

Betty said that Chief Ely had been battling cancer and died with family by his side.

Chief Ely (#1) was the first hired career member for the City of Kirkland Fire Department in 1969. He served as Chief for 19 years retiring in 1988. Bob led the consolidation of the Kirkland Fire Department, the Houghton Fire Department and Fire District #41 in 1972 into the Greater Kirkland Department of Fire Services.

Thank you, Chief Ely, for setting the tone for our fire department and future generations of Kirkland firefighters.
