North Highline Welcomes New Interim Fire Chief

Chief Marstrom

The Board of Fire Commissioners has appointed Steve Marstrom as their new interim Administrative Chief. Chief Marstrom began his new duties on August 9, 2010. His professional career spanned over 30 years, with the last nine of those years as Fire Chief.

Chief Marstrom comes to North Highline at a time of uncertainty regarding the District's future. While maintaining the day-to-day operations, he is tasked with researching and developing consolidation options for the District. With a shrinking tax base due to a decline in property values and city annexations, it is unreasonable to expect the District will be able to continue providing current service levels in its present form. It is imperative that alternatives are identified and thoroughly explored.
