The Everett Fire Department (EFD) says it received a custom gift from a Spokane craftsman on Tuesday. EFD says that Dillon O’Connor from Spokane made a “special delivery” to the station by gifting the department custom leather radio straps.

Dillon told firefighters he created them as a “thank-you” to the firefighters who deployed with Brush 1 during the Spokane Complex Fires that happened in August. EFD says the straps will stay with Brush 1 so their wildland firefighters can use them on future deployments.
