5th Grade trains with Live Fire!
Thanks to Susan Risser and her annual Fire Prevention Program, even 5th graders can effectively and safely use a fire extinguisher. The new-formed San Juan County Fire Prevention Coalition along with generous help from the island communities, has purchased a state-of-the-art Fire Extinguisher. Training prop. Friday Harbor Elementary 5th graders were the first to show how fast a fire can be put out with the right training. Some students were able to dose the flames in less than 5 seconds! If you or your group is interested in fire extinguisher training, contact your fire department for more information.

The Membership votes YES
On September 30th, at the All-Hands informational meeting, a vote for membership support for the Division Chief proposal was taken. After 6 months of meetings, discussions and presentations, the majority of our membership took the initiative to get the facts to make an informed decision. Medical Control Dr. Sullivan and Commissioner Duke also attended the meeting. Both spoke in favor of the plan and answered questions from the members. Twenty-nine (29) of the thirty-one (31) members present voted to support the proposal. The first 12 months will be a trial period. This will give the district a chance to make the needed adjustments.
