$10,932.61 WOW! ❤️

Because of an amazing community, this year’s MDA Fill the Boot was a tremendous success. Together, IAFF Local 3674 and IAFF Local 452 raised $10,932.61 to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Every dollar raised helps fund groundbreaking research, lifesaving care, support services, and summer camp experiences for children and families living with neuromuscular diseases.

To our families, friends, volunteers, and everyone who stopped to donate—thank you. Your generosity is changing lives and bringing hope to so many. We are honored to stand beside this incredible community in support of such an important cause.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. ❤️

Husband. Father. Veteran. Friend. Deputy. Leader.

It’s hard to describe a man who meant so much to so many. And that’s why it’s with profound sadness that we share the passing of Deputy Patrick Morgan.

After a nearly two-year battle with stage IV colon cancer, Patrick passed away Tuesday night, surrounded by loved ones. He was just 32 years old.

Throughout his illness, he faced each day with remarkable courage. Even while undergoing treatment, he continued coming to work whenever he could, bringing kindness, positivity, and a genuine desire to be with his team. He was a valued member of our Sheriff's Office, and we are humbled by his strength, resilience, and dedication to his community.

But beyond the badge and the uniform, Patrick's greatest pride was the life he built with his family. He was a devoted husband to Lauren and a loving father to their two young sons. His family was the center of his world, and everything he did was rooted in his love for them. Our hearts are with Lauren, their boys, and all who knew and loved him as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Many of you have followed Patrick’s journey over the past two years and have stood beside him, his family, and our agency with your prayers, encouragement, and support. For that, we are deeply grateful.

Patrick joined the Clark County Sheriff’s Office in 2023 after serving with the Ridgefield Police Department, the Clark County Jail, and the United States Army.

He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of service, kindness, and courage will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Deputy Morgan. We have the watch from here.

Honoring the life and service of retired Firefighter/Paramedic George Lingle.

Late last week, Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue and Local 3674 lost one of our own with the unexpected passing of FF/PM George Lingle.

To say George dedicated his life to the fire service is an understatement. George became a volunteer firefighter with Clark County Fire District 11 in 1973 on his 16th birthday. He then spent the next nearly 46 years in the fire service, serving as a volunteer, a part-time firefighter, a career firefighter, a paramedic, and a strike team leader in the wildland sector. Even after retiring from the line in 2019, George continued to serve his community as a support volunteer, dropping whatever he was doing at any given time to go to the station and respond one of CCFR’s water tenders to help the crews. In essence, George was always on duty.

When George wasn’t at work, he was busy being involved in the community. George coached basketball, among other sports, for his children and their friends. He was an active member of his church, and service was almost always at the forefront of his mind. He mentored many of a firefighter during his career. He delivered care and compassion in his own way. He would lay on the ground with a scared child, helping take their fear away during their time of need. He’d help an older person up to bed with a smile on his face, no matter how many times he’d been there previously.

George provided many a story to those of us who had the pleasure of working with him. Too many to recount on this thread. Even though he retired nearly seven years ago, his coworkers still bring up the, “remember that time when George did…” on a regular basis.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to George’s family as they go through this difficult time. George, we will miss your compassion, your ability to think outside the box, and the example you set for the rest of us. Rest easy up there, and we’ll see you again down the road.

On June 29, 2025, two fire service members from Coeur d’Alene Fire Department (IAFF Local 710) and Kootenai County Fire & Rescue (IAFF Local 2856) lost their lives in the line of duty.

This tragic loss has deeply affected their departments, their families, and the firefighting community. Their passing is a reminder of the risks faced by those who serve and the weight carried by those who lead.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted — especially the members of Local 710 and Local 2856 — as they navigate this difficult time.

Their service will not be forgotten.
