Firefighters dedicate themselves to saving lives and minimizing damage to property. Woodinville firefighters commit themselves to help others and making a difference, in addition to doing both.
They accomplish this through the Woodinville Firefighters Benevolent Fund, which focuses on providing financial assistance to community members in need of a little extra help, especially during the holidays. Woodinville Fire and Rescue established the fund in 2007.
“The firefighters wanted to do more to give back,” said Dustin Wuebel, firefighter and president of the fund.
The fund began over a decade ago because the local firefighters were looking for more options for community involvement. Wuebel said the vision grew over the years.
“We couldn’t do this without the community and networking,” he said.
