I’m voting for Wes Heinmiller for the position of Orcas Island Fire Commissioner because he is a terrific fit for the position. He has knowledge of our fire department’s strengths as well as the needs. He has a history of bringing groups together and he has demonstrated a commitment not only to the department but to Orcas, having lived, worked and volunteered here since the 1990s.

I respect the background of knowledge and experience that Wes will bring to the position of OIFR Commissioner. I am grateful to have such a qualified person willing to volunteer!
