Letter To Editor: A Thank You from Fire Chief

Typewriter with paper reading "Letters to the Editor"

Hello Citizens of Fire District 4, 

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of you who helped us make it through the July 4th holiday with very little impact from fireworks. I realize it is “no fun” to miss out on this tradition it is one of the ways we show our patriotism to celebrate this great nation.  

Some communities around the state suffered significant loss from fire this weekend. It appears it is going to be a hot, dry summer. Area firefighters have already been called to what I am sure is just the beginning of a long hard battle in the wildfire arena. Please continue to be cautious, keep your loved ones and your property safe and thank you again for your continued support. 

Bill Neckels 

Fire Chief

Susan was born April 18th, 1953, in Spokane, WA, to William and Reubie Robideaux. She went to join the Lord peacefully, in her sleep on August 5th, 2024, at her cherished home on Reflection Lake in Elk, WA. Susan grew up and rivaled her feisty, fun-loving, 5 brothers in Spokane, WA, where they performed musical skits for family friends. She attended Marycliff and Mead High Schools. She met her future husband, Brian (Bud) Emry, at a party and was instantly charmed when he tuned his harmonica in orange soda. Bud, in turn, was captivated by Susan’s party trick – reciting Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backwards.
