Friday Harbor Fire Department 1909-2010

Friday Harbor Fire Department 1909-2010 In remembrance of the longest running, most iconic, and ultimately most under-appreciated fire servi

Founded in the summer of 1909, the Friday Harbor Fire Department celebrated its centennial in 2009; only to be forced into closure by the end of 2010. In its time, the Friday Harbor Fire Department brought many firsts to San Juan County; not the least of which, the first dedicated emergency response agency. The FHFD became known for providing competent fire service to its customers, while maintain

ing a small budget; and also founded many community staples, including the very popular Thrift House, the annual Easter Egg Hunt, The Haunted Firehouse, and providing transport for Santa Claus at Christmas. Thanks go to Rick Galer and his 2010 book "Hose Carts and Hydrants," which provides a great historical record of a wonderful (and greatly missed) little fire department.
