Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff to coincide with Governor Jay Inslee’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered on Sunday, May 5 for the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Weekend.

“National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Weekend honors the firefighters and emergency personnel who lost their lives in 2023,” Brown said. “I encourage anyone with a flag outside their home or business to join us in recognizing these heroes.”

Flags will remain at half-staff through the weekend.
