Erick Brittain takes over at GCFD 7

SOAP LAKE – Grant County Fire District 7 has welcomed a new chief, Erick Brittain, who brings with him a wealth of experience and a passion for community service, he said. After a distinguished 25-year career as a firefighter-paramedic, Brittain's journey into firefighting began in the mid-1990s with a shift in career aspirations that uniquely shaped his path. Originally pursuing a degree in education at Central Washington University, Brittain's interests were redirected after he began working at Les Schwab, where he observed the benefits enjoyed by firefighters.
