The staff at Deer Harbor Marina would like to give a heartfelt thanks to the Orcas Island Fire and Rescue for saving our beloved marina on the night of Feb. 10.

Containing the fire to just one building shows just how professional our nearly all volunteer crew of firefighters and medics truly are. Fighting a fire on an 18-year-old cedar building that sits on a wooden pier, with propane tanks on fire at the entrance and two fuel lines directly below the fire is not a very inviting environment, but you guys battled it perfectly, and you won. For that brave effort put out by everyone who was there that night, we are forever grateful.
