The ranks of South Whidbey Fire/EMS were recently bolstered.

Ten volunteer members were approved by the fire protection district’s commissioners at their meeting Thursday night.

Vincent Bond, Sean McDougald, Brian Johnson, Elizabeth Majestic, Clark Cameron, Adam Price, Kelly Cammermeyer, Pamela Uhlig, Herschel Rostov and Jeff Cravy joined South Whidbey Fire/EMS as emergency medical technicians and firefighters — either way, they’re volunteer first responders now.
