Uhhhhhh…Looks like an EMS team!

In Japan, napping at work won't get you fired. In fact, taking time out for a snooze is seen as honorable and a sign of diligence by employers. Check the comments 👇

Congrats Corey!

"Corey Toombs, a single father of a teenage-old son, is our Firefighter of the Year. Corey has been a volunteer firefighter with SPOFR for three years. He has a CLASS A CDL, so he is very capable of driving our engines and tenders. He also was on two wildland fire teams during the summer of 2022 in Colville and the Wagner fires. In addition, Corey worked on the Oregon Road and Gray road fires. Corey received an accommodation as he returned through Spokane to a vehicle emergency call from Spokane Fire. Corey also was very helpful in setting up the Fire Academy training grounds and assisting Captain Jake Hogue with the testing. He is also the resident firefighter at Station 32 in Sacheen Lake. Congratulations, Corey, on being our Firefighter of the Year recipient!"

With great sadness POEMS joins Dr. Wright’s family in mourning his sudden and unexpected death. Newport Hospital, POEMS and all of the First Responders in Pend Oreille County were lifted up and made better for having worked with Dr. Wright.

An amazing man, father, Doctor, teacher and friend, his legacy of service will continue to impact our community for years to come.

Share Memories and Support the Family.
