There was a special feature in the deli section of Brewster Marketplace last Friday, Jan. 15, as members of Douglas-Okanogan County Fire District 15 (DOCFD) and Brewster Fire Station 1520 were on hand to recruit volunteers to serve as firefighters on the all-volunteer crew. Pictured from left, Tyrell Vargas, Jason Allen, and Kassia Daniels spoke with potential candidates interested in serving their community. Daniels has been a local volunteer for 10 years, Vargas for six, and Allen for four. DOCFD 15 maintains stations at Rocky Butte on Bridgeport Bar, Brewster, Pateros, and Methow. The district will be back in the Brewster Marketplace parking lot from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, Jan 23, for another recruiting drive. Mike Maltais, QCH
