Local 29 Executive Board

I’m Randy Marler, a dedicated firefighter with 23 years of experience, proudly serving the Spokane community from Firehouse 4 and Ladder 4 in downtown Spokane. My journey in firefighting, fueled by a relentless passion for public safety, has been a rewarding adventure.

My firefighting journey has been driven by a passion for making a meaningful impact. Beyond the firehouse, you’ll often find me conquering slopes on skis in the winter and relishing the thrill of water skiing in the warmer months.

At the heart of it all is my family — my wife and our four incredible kids, ages 26, 21, 20, and 18. Their unwavering support adds a profound dimension to my life and fuels my commitment to professional excellence and personal fulfillment.

Beyond the front lines, I wear another hat as the Union President, advocating for my fellow firefighters’ rights, welfare, and professional growth. It’s a role that adds depth to my commitment to the firefighting community, ensuring our voices are heard and our needs are addressed.

I have been with the Spokane Fire Department since 2012 and have served as the Local 29 Secretary since 2023. I am married with three wonderful children. When I’m not working at the station or the union hall, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, snowmobiling, and traveling.

I was hired on to the Spokane Fire Department March 1st, 1999. I have previously served as a station rep and executive board member. Local 29 has a storied history as both a founding member of the Washington State Council of Firefighters and the International Association of Firefighters. I am deeply honored to serve Local 29.

I am currently in my 23rd year with the Spokane Fire Department. Spokane is my third professional fire department that I have worked for, and Local 29 is the third IAFF Local I have been a part of. I have also worked for Local 3995 Whitefish Professional Firefighters and Local 1892 Pullman Professional Firefighters.

I have been Local 29’s Treasurer since 2022. I joined the Spokane Fire Department in 2012 and have been fortunate enough to work at many great houses since then. When I’m not crunching numbers or slaying the dragon, I love to play soccer and hockey, and coach youth teams. At home, I’m raising three rowdy, incredible boys with my loving wife Sarah.

I joined the Spokane Fire Department in 1994 and have been on the Local 29 executive board since 2014. I was born and raised in Spokane and currently work on Ladder 4 on the west end of downtown. I am married with two adult sons, and in my free time, I enjoy camping, fishing, and riding my motorcycle.
