Snohomish County Fire District #25 - OSO Landslide Donations
This a bit late, but you can
still donate. See info below.
FIRE DISTRICT ONE
FOUNDATION / SNOHOMISH COUNTY FD#25 / OSO LANDSLIDE REQUEST FOR DONATIONS
Hello,
As you know the OSO area has
been hard hit both in resource needs and financial challenges with the SR530
Landslide that occurred on March 22, 2014. Snohomish County Fire District #25
is a 16 member all volunteer organization who proudly serve the OSO area.
Since the day of the slide Volunteer Fire Chief Harper has been a key
contact and representative for the OSO area and continues to be an important
part of the recovery process for the area. During this time Chief Harpers
non-fire service employer had been paying his wages and benefits up till April
30th. The employer has felt that this was their way of giving
back during such a devastating event. Chief Harper has not been at his
job since the day of the slide.
Chief Harpers duties moving
forward are estimated by many to require him have an active role as a full time
fire chief for the next year at a minimum. Due to the economic loss over the
past few years, the size of a small fire district and that of the recent
landslide there is now an effort to secure full time funding for his position
for the next 12 months. This is a needed position that the Fire District
cannot afford to fund on their own. Many things have been done to make this
need a reality.
· The
Commissioner of Snohomish County Fire District #25 have passed a resolution
accepting and administering financial donations for the position.
· The
Fire One Foundation has agreed to be the collection point for all funds
received to fund the position.
· Snohomish
County will administer the payroll for the position.
· Fire
Chief Harpers civilian employer has graciously granted him a leave of absence
to assist the Fire District. They have guaranteed his job will be waiting
for him at the end of his assignment.
With all of these items in
place we are now asking you to help in make this a reality for the community in
which Fire District #25 serves by doing one or all of the following.
· Give
to the Fire One Foundation to support this effort.
· Forward
this and/or talk with your contacts both professional and personnel who may
wish to help.
Please send all
donations to :
Fire 1 Foundation
PO Box 12915
Everett WA 98206
Attention: Snohomish County
