Transcript of Hot Topic: Firefighters of Station No. 3...
Volume 34 / No. 3 July - September 2014
Decades before Spokane Public Radio chose the brick building at Monroe and Sharp to house the studios of KPBX, KSFC and KPBZ, the firefighters responsible for the Downtown core and area northwest of the Spokane River worked and lived there for days at a time. SPR’s renovation plans preserve many of the historic aspects of the brick building,
which was built in two stages in 1912 and 1917. Now, SPR is preserving the oral histories of some of the men who spent a good part of their careers there.Seven members of Fire Station No. 3, six past and one present, spent time in June
with General Manager Cary Boyce and other SPR staff members, explaining how the building was used during their years there. For example, the center bay was the largest to allow the long ladder truck to park there. The driver for the rear end of the ladder could slide down the brass pole near the back of that bay. And yes, one practical joker admitted guys would occasionally slide down a pole with wax paper to give the next firefighter a very fast ride down.The men are still very proud of their association with Station No. 3, saying that it
was (and still is) the busiest unit in Spokane. The city chose to move the fire station to a new facility in 1991, but SPR will incorporate the old fire station’s photographic and oral history into the renovated radio station, scheduled to be finished by July 2015.
Hot Topic: Firefighters of Station No. 3 Reminisce
Past and present members of Spokane Fire Station No. 3 gathered with SPR General Manager Cary Boyce to tour the former fire station which will become the future home of Spokane Public Radio. Pictured are Tom Heckler, Dick Schuerman, Howard Vietzke, Boyce, Dan Brown, Ken Strong, Ron Peyton, Greg Borg, and Thad Frater.

Tiger Invasion! Lewis & Clark High School Students Earn Credits With Internships
As the school season finished, three Lewis & Clark High School students completed internships with SPR to complete their Practicum in Community Involvement course.
SPR listeners could hear one of them on-air. Siobhan Flanagan began as a production intern to Verne Windham and eventually took over the Broadway Matinee program. Her work, coupled with her involvement in the school’s Tiger Drama program, earned her a special award from Seattle’s Fifth Avenue Theatre.
Brendan Finch interned with Production Director Patrick Klausen; his work is heard in several member and underwriter testimonials airing on KPBX and KSFC.
Jacob C Hagen was teamed with Zan as she prepared to produce new
Soundspace episodes for KPBX. Zan says the partnership was a true gift, providing the technical aspect so she could focus on the music and content.
A fourth student, Katherine Lawlor, spent her junior year interning through a different project at LCHS. Katherine began as a marketing intern, but expanded her knowledge of radio by assisting the production of this summer’s short series Inland Northwest History Moment. She plans to continue assisting SPR during her senior year.
SPR continues to expand its internship program. Anyone interested in internships for high school or college credit can email [email protected] or speak with Stephanie Ingoldby at 328-5729.
Nancy Roth is still heard on-air this summer in The Bookshelf and the Inland Northwest History Moment.
SPR mainstay Nancy Roth has retired from her work as an underwriting representative.
Robb Anthony, Ann Torigoe-Hawkins, and Kathy Sackett continue to assist SPR business supporters.
