The History of the Fire Department

I spent a fair amount of time today typing in the names and years of service for all the Pullman Fire Reserves and hundreds of people who have served with WSU Fire since the forties. It was interesting to see all the names. I want to start a project to go through old Chinook’s at WSU and find all the people I can who were with the fire department.

I did find some pictures on a site at WSU with old pictures. I got permission to post them on the Website for the city. So I am pretty stoked about that.

In the evening we had OTEP training. It was short and mainly covered documentation. After that training was done I went back to the office and continued to get the names entered. It took until nearly midnight to finish them off. But I am done with them all. I have a spreadsheet that I hope to turn into a Webpage in the next few weeks.
