As some of you may know, a good friend of the District, Lewis Bybee, recently passed away. Lewis was one of the earliest Paramedics here and was an integral part of our history, even operating as Director for a good number of years. Since I have taken the helm here, Lewis became a welcome visitor here at the station. We had many great discussions about the history and future of our service. Lewis’s family graciously accepted donations for the district in his memory during his services We’ve used that money to purchase a tool to help us provide faster and more thorough services for the community we serve in the form of a thermal imaging camera. I firmly believe Lewis would be excited to know we’ve expanded or capability to provide care for the community, and his memory and legacy will live on in several ways for us, not only with this tool, but with the District’s decision to name our new station in his memory. There’s more to come soon on an open house and dedication for that! Personally, I’ll miss the visits we had, he was a genuinely good fellow that carried a true and honest interest in seeing the service grow and succeed in serving our community.
