IAFF LOCAL 2776 Raymond Professional Fire Fighters

07/29/2026

With deep sadness, Lacey Firefighters IAFF Local 2903 shares the news of our brother Jake Johnson’s passing.

Jake joined Local 2903 as a lateral firefighter after serving with Mountain View Firefighters Local 3186. He quickly became a trusted teammate, a friend, and an important part of our family.

We are deeply grateful for the support shown to Jake, his family, and our members. The prayers, messages, and acts of kindness have meant more than we can express.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Olympia Firefighters Local 468, Tumwater Firefighters Local 2409, and the medical teams at Providence St. Peter Hospital and Harborview Medical Center for their care and compassion.

Our hearts remain with Jake’s family, friends, and all who are grieving his loss. We ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.

Memorial service details will be shared when available.

Jake, you will always be remembered as our brother, teammate, and friend. Your Local 2903 family will carry your memory with us.

Happy Friday everyone!

Over the last few weeks if you have driven past the Fire Department in the back you could see we've had some damaged cars. We have been diligently training over the past few weeks on extrication and proficiency with all of our extrication equipment.

On May 27th Captain Schwiesow/FF Sanchez/Captain Gerow put on a training for Local members, Raymond Fire Department Volunteers, and Volunteers from Pacific County Fire District #3. Training lasted over 3 hours going over our battery powered extrication tools, stabilization/cribbing, and much more. This is invaluable training for everyone involved.

This is just an example of the work that gets put in on training and instruction on a weekly basis.

Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more on what your Local Raymond Professional FF's are up to!
