Did You Know?

The district's first new apparatus—a 1966 Ford front-mount, 1000-gallon fire engine—is still on Orcas Island. The Orcas Island Volunteer Firefighter Association purchased it from the district for one dollar. While no longer in service, it appears in parades and community events and is housed at Station 26 when not on display.
