BLYN — It’s all about minutes. Five, instead of 18 or 20.
The new Clallam County Fire District No. 3 station on U.S. Highway 101 in Blyn will save lives, Chief Steve Vogel said Monday morning.
During a grand opening ceremony that included a fire hose uncoupling — rather than a ribbon-cutting — a Christian prayer and a JamesÂtown S’Klallam song titled “Walk in Peace with the Great Spirit,” Vogel praised the collaborators who made the station happen: the Jamestown tribe, his fire crew and the Clallam County commissioners.
The station will sharply reduce emergency response times to Diamond Point and the rest of East Clallam County, Vogel said.
