    At the same time, it may be important that LEOFF benefits are "more inclusive" than Industrial Insurance Act benefits, Bickford, 104 Wash. App. at 815 n.9, 17 P.3d 1240, because despite the hazardous work LEOFF beneficiaries perform, they at times face common law restrictions on suits that others do not. Estate of McCartney v. Pierce County, 22 Wash. App. 2d 665, 678-96, 513 P.3d 119, review denied, 200 Wash.2d 1014, 519 P.3d 590 (2022) (applying discretionary immunity and the professional rescuer doctrine to claims brought by estate of sheriff's deputy killed in the line of duty). Washington decisions consistently separate the Industrial Insurance Act and LEOFF, as a result of which we must apply Gillis.
