I suppose one of the good things about blogging, is that I'm free to try different things and see how they turn out. For instance, I uploaded this image first, which is centered, only to find out that the text is now centered too. Interesting.
I suppose if you weren't too familiar with fire department patches, you wouldn't know that F.P.D. stood for Fire Protection District. And possibly wouldn't know that Co. stands for County instead of Company.
At any rate, there is a Silver Lake in Snohomish County in South Everett.
This patch has always struck me as a bit odd. I'd never seen a green fire department patch before I'd gotten this one. And I have no idea why the creators of this patch made it green. Maybe green has to do with the color of life?
Today, there is no Snohomish County Fire Protection District #11. Several years ago they merged with Snohomish County Fire Protection District #1, which serves southwest Snohomish County. But that's a different story for a different patch.

Chief Chauncey Sauer designed the patch/color. He also had all the fire trucks painted lime green. He came from Libby, Montana where he was the Chief for both the City of Libby and Lincoln County. I was one of the first paid firefighters for the District in 1981
