Stayton Oregon Fire Chief Jack Carriger in Stayton Oregon

I took the opportunity to snap a photo of Stayton Fire District’s fire chief, Jack Carriger, a couple of weeks ago at the 2009 Santa Cruise. I am huge fan of firefighters, since both of my brothers were volunteers at the department, and the department saved my house last year after it was set on fire.

Firefighters and other emergency responders put themselves out there every day in order help others. I’ll take any chance to highlight them I can get.

Thanks to Chief Carriger for putting up with my taking the photo. I appreciate it.
