An event that took place in March of 1989, still feels like yesterday for Battalion Chief, Jerry Hughes.
"I’ll never forget the initial job offer from Fire Chief Richard Duncan. I was a sophomore in college, a resident firefighter, and working hard to make ends meet; his phone call came at the perfect time,” Hughes shares.
BC Hughes graciously accepted a position with Bothell Fire Department, and now, almost 31-years-later, we are honored to announce that Jerry has been promoted to Battalion Chief. For those who know Jerry, this is no surprise. During his tenure with Bothell Fire Department, BC Hughes has made a significant impact.
In 2001, BC Hughes deployed to Ground Zero in New York to assist in 9/11 recovery efforts, and over the years, he has provided exceptional service to the community. Some of his most memorable and favorite calls are four different baby deliveries, and a number of cardiac arrest saves.
