The Hot Shop

• Whoa! Eddie & Genie at the Hot Shop have a blog now…here.

• Remember the Safety Fair in October?  A lot of people made that happen – Carolyn from the Fire Department wanted to take a moment to thank everyone:

We would like to thank all of the individuals, organizations and businesses involved with making this year’s Safety Fair at the Mullis Street Fire Station last month a great success.

Thank you to our generous sponsors: Kings Market, Friday Harbor Drug, the Toy Box and Osito’s.

Thank you to Francis and Rebecca Smith, Lainey Volk, Jerry and Michael Henderson and Robin DeLaZerda for organizing an informative and visual rescue demonstration showing us the great skill, cooperation and dedication our emergency workers use when we need them the most.

Thank you to the Red Cross kitchen team – Diane Ludeman, Liza Westphalen and Laura Jo Severson – who kept the food coming and everyone fed as they would when needed in an emergency.

Thank you to Brad Creesy, Jonathan Marler and the San Juan Island Firefighter One Recruit Class who kept very busy teaching the kids Fire Safety.

And most of all, thank you to the community for showing your support for our emergency services. We always welcome suggestions on how we can serve you better from public education to emergency responses.
