On Aug. 25, at approximately 19:00, a “paddle-out” memorial ceremony was performed for the 3-Fallen Twisp Firefighters at Eastsound Waterfront Park.  We regret to announce that OIFR was unable to formally attend.  OIFR, in the traditional manner of the fire service, has recognized and paid tribute to those firefighters that have fallen in the Eastern Washington Twisp fire.  With respect, we thank all community members who pay tribute to those firefighters who have fallen.
