— from Orcas Island Fire and Rescue —

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue would like to extend a big Thank You to all who voted in the February Special Election.

With the passing of Proposition 1, vital upgrades will be made to the San Juan County Emergency Communications System – ensuring our first responders will be able to communicate with each other and with Dispatch during emergency calls.
