Firefighter Scam. According to My Everett News, people posing as
Everett firefighters are going door to door asking for donations in the Everett
area. Also, others have reported solicitations for donations to firefighters
through phone calls. Neither the Everett Fire Department nor the Everett
Firefighters IAFF Local 46 ask for donations door to door or via the phone.
My Everett News recommends that
if someone approaches you at your door for a donation to the Everett Fire
Department or to the fire fighter’s union, tell them no and report the incident
to 911.
If you would like to donate to
Everett firefighters, look at the following web sites:
Medic One Foundation- https://everettwa.gov/293/Medic-One-Foundation
