Missed Coffee

Thanks for rolling out this morning. The call turned out to be steam/exhaust from a propane furnace. It is nice to know that people in the community are looking out for one another. I hope you had time to go home and get a cup of coffee before work.

Welcome! - and Welcome Back!

Welcome to the new San Juan Island Fire Department blog. Hopefully, you'll find that this space becomes one of your "go to" places to stay informed. I'll try to be good about posting current "Chief's Messages" here, along with other miscellaneous ramblings.

Welcome back to Lieutenants Monin and Lean, and Firefighter Howitt (Along with C-3 and Brush 312). They've spent more than a week working the Swanson Lake fire in Central Washington. They must have done a good job, because they were among the last to be demobilized. Great work and WELCOME HOME!

We're in Business

We’re changing the way we communicate on the web. The new site, (to be posted in the next couple of days), will have the policies, procedures, etc. It will also, in the future, have a members section.

Updates about what’s going on in the department will be posted here. If you have info to share forward it to the training office to be posted.
