Report
Issue:
Council Member Nathaniel Jones and City Manager Steve Hall accompanied members of Olympia’s Firefighter Union, IAFF Local 468, to Richland Washington for Fire Ops. Fire Ops gives elected officials and senior city leaders a chance to do what firefighters do, in full gear in very realistic simulations. The goal of Fire Ops is to foster better understanding of the difficult job firefighters perform and give the firefighters and their guests time for conversation and idea sharing. Pictures from the trip will be presented.
