Forrest Dick is assigned to Eagle Crest Station 36 on Three Corner Lake Road. He is a Wildland Firefighter and is training to be a Tender (water transportation truck) Operator.

He came to the Island in Spring of 2005 from Olympia where he graduated from New Century High School and attended South Puget Sound Community College. Forrest started here working as a finish carpenter and worked his way up to being a general contractor and now owns a welding and machine shop and has heavy equipment.

He does excavation and landscaping installations. His business is called Forrest and Erin Enterprises. Forrest also specializes in fire wising and timber stewardship.

Forrest and his wife, Erin, have a son, Jason who is six years old and is home schooled.

The Dicks are active in human rights anti-persecution campaigns, such as trying to end the forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience in China. (www.stoporganharvesting.org)

Forrest volunteers for San Juan Island Fire Rescue because he says, “it strengthens my sense of community, and in such a small community it is very easy to see the impact of ones actions. Everyone with a heart for it can make a real difference.”

San Juan Island Fire Rescue welcomes all interested men and women to drop by the Station on Mullis Street and make an appointment to attend a drill on Monday nights to see what we are all about. Our phone # is (360) 378-5334. Join us!
