Farewell and best wishes to Capt. Toby Schultz as he retires from NKF&R and the fire service.

An informal reception and open house is scheduled at the Paul T. Nichol Headquarters Fire Station, 26642 Miller Bay Road NE, Kingston, on Sept. 10, 3-6 p.m. The reception will include a short presentation at 4:30 p.m.

9/11 Breakfast

Every year since the 2001 attacks, the firefighters of NKF&R have hosted a community breakfast on Sept. 11.

The goal has been to bring neighbors together to share a meal and to support an important cause in memory of the thousands who lost their lives on that September morning.  Funds have been raised for the North Kitsap Schools Foundation, local cooperative preschools, Kingston High School PTA, the Red Cross, the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, the YWCA Alive Shelter and more.

This year, touched by the death of actor-comedian Robin Williams and reminded once again about the potentially lethal effects of depression, we will raise money for the local Crisis Line and Kitsap Mental Health Services.

We hope you’ll join us, 7-10 a.m. The light continental breakfast is free, but donations to support the cause will be gratefully accepted.

Child car seat checks are held at NKF&R’s headquarters on the second Saturday of every month, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
