Orcas Island Fire Department has joined with San Juan and several local fire

districts to respond to fires now burning out of control in eastern

Washington. Firefighters from all over the State are sending what help they

can to help in the effort. One fire, east of Wenatchee, is now considered a

threat to the Bonneville Power lines. Firefighters Tad Lean and David Howitt

from San Juan Island plus Chad Kimple and Perry Pruett are manning brush

engines from both islands. Noel Monin from San Juan Fire District 3 is the

Strike Team Leader.
