During the recent snow storm, our members were asked to go above and beyond the normal call of duty. Our amazing business community in the Rim Country also recognized their dedication to duty and gave them a gift package.
The department asked your firefighters to leave their families, their warm beds, their comforts of home and man a station with no beds, no entertainment except each other during the downtime, limited heat and a severe storm. They did it willingly to support their community. Clearing driveways to ensure emergency apparatus could respond, assisting the community in any way they could, and being a place people could go if needed. 2 members of our union Dustin Marsh and Brian Wiggins as well as 2 reserve firefighters from Hellsgate Fire, Ilyas Sekandari and Wrigley Harper stepped up.
Our business in the Rim also stepped up to show their appreciation. A free haircut from JJ's barbershop, coffee from Starbucks, coffee from Dutch Bros, dinner at Chilis, dinner at Native, dinner at Culvers, dinner at Pizza Faotory, tickets to Sawmill Theater, and tickets to the U2 cover band and dinner at the Mazatzall Casino. Thank you everyone for supporting the people that support you.
