Lake Wenatchee Fire & Rescue Firefighers Association have put forward the Byron Dickinson scholarship for seniors graduating from Cascade High School that plan to pursue education in the public service field.
The scholarship is a nod to Dickinson, who was an instrumental force in creating the current fire district and one of the founders of Chelan County Fire District No. 9 (which joined Chelan Co. Fire District No. 4 to create LWFR).
“We wanted to honor his memory and his work for both the fire district and the community,” said Chief Mick Lamar.
The scholarship is $1000 for those pursuing in the public safety or service industry such as nursing, paramedic, law enforcement or firefighting.
