The Snoqualmie Firefighters Association has awarded Gretchen Chase and Nathan Lewiston each a $500 award to pursue their educational goals in the health and fire sciences.
Both recipients of the 2015 scholarship were selected after an intensive review process.
The Snoqualmie Firefighters Association is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization of career and volunteer firefighters and EMTs of the Snoqualmie Fire Department. The organization supports the department’s goals and mission statement with equipment purchases as well as outreach and community events, public safety and fire education, human services assistance, scholarships in the human and fire sciences, historic preservation and maintenance of Snoqualmie’s original Engine 1 and charitable organizations.
Association funds are raised primarily through donations at the department’s annual pancake breakfast and silent auction, during Railroad Days. This year’s breakfast will be 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15.
