South County Fire Assistant Chief Brad Reading is retiring at the end of the month after 41 years in the fire services in south Snohomish County.
The fire department is hosting a retirement reception for Reading on Feb. 28, 4:30-6 p.m. at South County Fire Headquarters, 12425 Meridian Ave. S., Everett. The event is open to all and there will be a time to share stories and wish Chief Reading well as he begins his retirement.
The South County Fire Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution Tuesday commending Reading for his “distinguished years of dedicated service and leadership to the administrative staff, firefighters and paramedics, as well as meeting the public safety needs of South Snohomish County.”
