Welcome to The Washington State FireFighters' Association

It is the mission of the Washington State Fire Fighters’ Association to provide information, education and representation to the volunteer fire service of the State of Washington in order to enhance their capabilities and professionalism.


Washington State Fallen Firefighters' Memorial

In 1985, the Washington State Firefighters' Association established Washington's Fallen Firefighters' Memorial Service. A bronzed Maltese cross affixed to a granite cairn denotes the Memorial, located at the Fire Training Academy in North Bend, Washington. Over the years, the Firefighters' Association and other prominent state fire service organizations have joined together to annually recognize firefighters who have died in the line of duty giving unselfish service to their communities and Washington State.

This year's service will take place on October 5, 2008, 10:00 a.m., at the Washington State Capitol Rotunda in Olympia. Map of the Capitol Campus may be found at: Capital Campus Map
The annual memorial service coincides with the National Fire Administration Memorial Service, held each year on the first Sunday of October during National Fire Prevention Week.

The WFC will be recognizing three members: Marty Hauer, Andrew Palmer, and Dan Packer.


Two Year Membership and Lighthouse Uniform Offer

In Partnership with the Lighthouse Uniform Company, the Washington State Firefighters’ Association is offering a new promotional offer. Purchase a two (2) year Annual Membership bundle and receive a special offer from Lighthouse Uniform.

2008 Volunteer Fire Service License Plate Effort

WSFFA's efforts to secure a license plate for the volunteer fire service have once again been thwarted by the Washington State Legislature.  Unknown to all but the 07 Legislature was a proviso in the 2007 State Budget extending the moratorium another two years. 

Our investigation has uncovered that the Legislature was insomuch unable to deal with issues surrounding upwards of three dozen new applications being submitted with the lifting of the 2004 imposed moratorium.  This combined with the rumor of some law enforcement folks concern over 'more' special plates to deal with.

What's next?  Unfortunately the WSFFA can only patiently wait for the end of the moratorium in June 2009.  At that time you can bet that the WSFFA will be standing at the counter ready to turn our application in.  

Interesting isn't it? The Washington State Council and law enforcement memorial plate are alive and well but our state elected policy makers are oblivious to this simple unmet desire of Washington's volunteer fire service.  You might remind them when you see yours that we've been waiting since our first effort back in 1989.
