Thanks for new gear

The Firefighters and Commissioners of District 13 would like to thank The Marathon Petroleum Foundation for their generous donation of $22,000 towards the purchase of our new structure firefighting personal protective equipment. The old gear was well out of date, some as much as 20 years old. In addition, much of the gear was worn out from years of structure fires. This new turnout gear allows us to engage fires with the knowledge that our gear is up to date and structurally sound..

Thanks to the Marathon refinery in Anacortes and the Marathon Petroleum Foundation, this new gear will protect us while we are protecting others.
