Fire and Rescue To Hold Meetings on Cost Recovery

Two sessions on Saturday, June 6

— from Lt. Geoff Nelson, President Orcas Island Volunteer Firefighters’ Association, and Miklos P. Preysz, Acting Chief, Orcas Island Fire and Rescue —

Orcas Island Volunteer Firefighters’ Association in conjunction with Orcas Island Fire and Rescue is sponsoring a Town hall Meeting to provide information and solicit public opinion on cost recovery associated with medical incidents.

This informational session will facilitate our Board of Fire Commissioners in making an informed decision as to whether or not to implement the Cost Recovery process -— a process that will enable us to recover costs for medical treatment and transport with no out-of-pocket expenses to our residents.

We strongly encourage our community members to attend one of two sessions on Saturday, June 6 at the Eastsound Fire Station, Station 21:

1. 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
2. 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Thank you in advance for your attendance and community involvement.
