"C" shift celebrates with Lt. Klem on his last day as an Active Member of CRFR. John has served this community for CRFR (formerly St Helens Fire) for 30 years. We celebrated his final shift last Monday the 24th at the Rainier Stn, and IAFF L-3215 gave him a Retirement party on the 22nd. Lieutenant Klem’s career started in May of 1979, and he soon became one of the Department’s Cardiac Technicians (EMT-3) when they started providing ambulance transportation as the St. Helens Fire District prior to the merger with the Rainier Fire District forming CRFR. During his tenure, John served as the Post Advisor for the Boy Scouts of America Fire Explorer Post #503, and has been a well-respected member of the District’s Fire Investigation Team (FIT) where a number of our current FIT members were mentored under his guidance. Over the last couple of years, John has spent his career assigned to the Rainier Station as the “C” Shift Lieutenant.
Thank you Lt. Klem, and enjoy your Retirement!!
