On September 16, Duvall Fire lost one of its own as a result of an off-duty medical emergency. Mike McMurray began his volunteer career 12 years ago as an emergency medical service (EMS) responder. He was inspired by a strong desire to make a difference in the community and his role within the department rapidly expanded to include contributions and expertise as: firefighter, boat operator/instructor, EMS instructor, emergency driving instructor, CPR instructor, and public educator. In each of these endeavors, he applied himself fully to master the task; ensuring only the highest quality of service. With a heavy heart, we have shrouded our badges and dropped our flags to half-staff in his honor. Our sincerest thanks to the Redmond and Woodinville fire departments, Redmond Medics, Duvall Police, Evergreen Hospital staff, and our community neighbors and friends for their support.
A memorial service will be held at Riverview School District headquarters (15510 1st Ave NE, Duvall) on Saturday September 29 at 10am.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Duvall Firefighters Association or a charity of your choice.
