#802 - Veteran Seattle firefighter empties locker after city denies vaccine exemption

The Seattle Fire Department insists public safety will remain a top priority even though dozens of first responders could lose their should they choose to not vaccinate against COVID.

Seattle city officials say as of Wednesday, about 88% of the department’s employees have been vaccinated, but that means dozens of first responders are at risk of losing their jobs. One firefighter cleared out his locker on Thursday, ending a 16-year long career at the department. 

Josh Gibbs rushed towards danger during some of the worst crises in our region including the deadly Ride the Ducks crash and the Oso mudslide. Gibbs says he wants to stay with the department, but he says the city won't accommodate his request for religious exemption.

"I’m very angry but I’m trying to hold it together for my family," he said fighting back tears. "The bitter-sweet part is that it’s ending here where it started."
