Editor,

South Whidbey Fire/EMS would like to thank two local businesses for their generous support of our efforts at the Whidbey Island Fair.

Eagle Construction covered the cost of breakfast for any first responder in uniform. Our volunteers enjoyed this as a rewarding start to their daily responsibilities during this event. Island Recycling provided, unloaded, and loaded two vehicles for our vehicle extrication demonstrations. These demonstrations allow us to show the public how emergency operations at vehicle incidents are handled and help us gain additional practice of these skills.

Your contributions were greatly appreciated!
