North Whatcom Fire and Rescue (NWFR) is accepting applications for a fire commissioner who would serve for the next year. Applications are due by 4 p.m. Friday, November 8.
The appointment would end November 25, 2025 as voters would decide on that commission seat during the November 2025 general election.
The seat was previously held by Scott Fischer, who according to the fire district resigned for personal reasons. Fischer began his six-year term in January 2020 and was a retired Bellingham International Airport firefighter.
Applicants must live within the fire district and be registered voters in Whatcom County.
NWFR is requesting candidates submit a letter of interest and statement of qualifications. The application needs to be emailed to jsand@nwfrs.com with “Board of Fire Commissioners” in the subject line or mailed to NWFR Board of Fire Commissioners, P.O. Box 286, Lynden, WA 98264.
Two NWFR commissioners and the board secretary will interview qualified candidates.
For more information, visit nwfrs.net or call NWFR executive assistant Jennie Sand at 360/318-9933.
