Sisters firefighters honor their own

Fire Chief Don Rowe thanked clerk Susan Houk for her work during a difficult time for the Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District.

Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District held its annual awards banquet on Friday, April 12, at the Sisters Community Church.

It has been a tough year for the fire district, with long-time board chair Greg Brown resigning under the cloud of a federal investigation.

Another long-time board member, Hal Coe, died recently.

Fire Chief Don Rowe acknowledged the district's two new board members, Dave Elliott and Don Boyd, and saluted district clerk Susan Houk for her work in the face of the turmoil.

Jay Crawford was named Firefighter of the Year. Jeff May was twice honored, as EMT of the Year and as Volunteer of the Year.

Rookie of the Year honors went to Jeff Liming.

Rowe noted that the fire district was highly successful in two fund-raising efforts. The district raised over $13,000 for fallen firefighters after September 11, and carried on a successful campaign to purchase a thermal imaging camera.
