Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has directed that all flags at City facilities be lowered to half-staff in remembrance of Spokane Fire Department Firefighter Josh Rhoads.

“Firefighter Rhoads passed away last week after a courageous battle with cancer,” Mayor Lisa Brown said. “He was beloved by his colleagues and embodied the spirit of teamwork. Firefighter Rhoads will be missed.”

Flags will be at half-staff at City Hall on Saturday, Nov 2. We encourage anyone with a flag outside their home or business to join us in honoring Firefighter Rhoads.
