The Washington Fire Mechanics recently held a board meeting at Camano Fire’s station 3 on Camano Island. We are now posting TSB’s via social media as they become available, but limited to a maximum of one post per week. This is a brief summary of the discussions: The conference center is secured for the upcoming annual workshop. Jim Juneau will be our keynote speaker this year and provide a class as well. Classes are starting to shape up and provide another year with even more selection for returning mechanics. Financial support has been secured from Kent Bruce to sponsor our website. Kenworth Northwest and Gray lifts will be added to the vendor show this year as well. Any interested vendors should contact a member of the board for more information. This year’s class schedule change should be a nice change of pace and allow events to flow more smoothly...
