Thanks for fire break

Sun., Sept. 13, 2015

Okanogan County Fire District 6 volunteers and families enjoyed a peaceful, tone-free, text message-free, phone-free day off Aug. 30. After days of 18 to 20 hours of fire suppression work each day, the down time was so appreciated.

All four District 6 stations were manned by out-of-district personnel who volunteered their time to give firefighters the opportunity to attend the fallen firefighters’ memorial service in Wenatchee, or to simply relax and enjoy a quiet day at home.

Our gratitude extends to the Spokane Fire Department, Spokane County Fire District 10, Chelan County Fire District 3, Chelan County Fire District 6, Cashmere Fire Department, Snohomish County Fire District 1 and Woodinville Fire Department. Fire District 6 families thank you.
