My eternal thanks to Chief Kevin O’Brien and his brave team of volunteer firefighters. Time and again, their quick and courageous response keeps bad situations from turning terrible.
I also appreciate the proactive communication coming from the chief’s office. The recent spate of “suspicious” fires and break-ins has our community once again on edge, but I believe Monday’s town hall meeting helped calm some concerns.
A little outreach goes a long ways and Chief O’Brien’s regular e-newsletters are an excellent way to stay informed about this current concern and your volunteer fire department in general. To sign up contact Lindsay at Lindsay@orcasfire.org or call 376-2331.
Keep up the great work Orcas Island Fire and Rescue!
