Orcas Island Fire and Rescue
On Wednesday, August 7, at 3:40 a.m., Orcas Firefighters responded to the Doe Bay Resort for the report of a structure fire. On location, responders found a ten-foot by ten-foot lighted sign that had burned and was mostly extinguished by the resort staff.
The fire was determined to be accidental in nature and is under the investigation of the San Juan County Fire Marshal. There were no injuries to civilians or responders.
Join Orcas Island Fire and Rescue Thursday, August 8, 6 p.m., at the Eastsound Fire Hall for an informative evening with our special guest Jack Cohen, a nationally renowned research physical scientist from the USDA National Forest Service Fire Sciences Laboratory. Mr. Cohen will be presenting an enlightening lecture addressing what you can do around your home and property to prevent a destructive wildfire.
Take care and stay safe.
