The Board of Fire Commissioners for San Juan Island Fire Rescue recently confirmed career staff promotions for Fire Chief Brad Creesy, Assistant Chief Noel Monin, Captain Tad Lean and Lieutenant Michael Henderson.
The Board approved the promotions at the July 20, 2016 meeting after the staff worked in these positions for an interim period of six months.
San Juan Island Fire Rescue serves all of San Juan Island – including the Town of Friday Harbor – as well as Brown and Pearl Islands. Through a contract with the State Department of Natural Resources, the fire department also provides wildland fire suppression for all of San Juan County’s non-ferry served islands.
Predominantly staffed by volunteers, the agency operates seven fire stations, numerous fire engines and other vehicles, as well as the region’s fire boat. In 2015, the fire department responded to 325 calls for service.
For information on how to become a volunteer, contact San Juan Island Fire Rescue, 1011 Mullis St., 378-5334, www.sjifire.org.
