Assistant Chief of Operations Eric Andrews with the Snohomish County Fire District 7 is retiring after 44 years in the fire service. Andrews will serve his final day on Friday, Jan. 31.
“I know many fire department leaders proclaim how great their members are,” Andrews said. “But I can truly say I know of no agency, and I have seen many, that have more passionate fire service members than we have here are Fire District 7. What an honor to have been a small part in this incredible organization for so many years.”
Andrews began his firefighting career in 1976 as a volunteer with Snohomish County Fire District 26. He was hired by Snohomish County Fire District 7 in July of 1978 as one of only two full-time employees at the time.
Andrews served the citizens of Fire District 7 in many capacities throughout his career.
