Op-Ed: IAFF Local 1828 supports annexation into South County Fire

On behalf of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 1828, I am writing to express our strong support for the City of Mill Creek’s Proposition Number 1, aka annexation into South Snohomish County Fire & Rescue RFA on the April 26, 2022, Special Election ballot. 

The union, city and fire authority have worked together in a remarkably collaborative and transparent fashion to secure the highest quality and lowest-cost option for long-term fire and EMS services to Mill Creek citizens while ensuring no loss of jobs to the current provider.

Local 1828 is proud of the relationships we share with our communities and partners throughout Snohomish County. Through the recent pandemic, our members have served around the clock with compassion and drive to ensure the emergency needs of our citizens were not only met but exceeded. 

We look forward to serving the citizens of Mill Creek and urge residents to vote “YES” on the upcoming ballot. 

Sincerely,

Tim Hoover

President, IAFF Local 1828

South County Union Fire Fighters
