It is with profound sadness that the WSCFF and Local 1747 Kent Firefighters announce the line-of-duty death of Chief James “Jimmy” Webb, who lost his courageous battle with occupational cancer on September 5, 2025.
From his early days serving the Kent community, through his promotions up to Battalion Chief, and later shaping the consortium and training programs, Chief Webb consistently exemplified quiet competence and true leadership.
Even in his fight with cancer, he demonstrated remarkable resilience and strength.
More details will be shared as they become available. Please keep his family, friends, and all who served alongside him in your thoughts and prayers.
