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