Ferndale fire stations will “Light the Night” to honor fallen firefighters

FERNDALE, Wash. — Several Whatcom County Fire District 7 stations will be aglow in red light tomorrow night, October 3rd, from 8pm to 8:15pm while they participate in the national Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters event.

Every October, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation sponsors the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, the official national tribute to those firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. They have been holding their “Light the Night” event since 2017 where fire stations across the country glow in respect of fallen firefighters and their families.

This year WCFD7 fire stations will be participating by lighting the overhead red flashing lights on fire trucks parked in the bays at the following fire stations.
