On April 15, 2004, we lost one of the greatest members of Capital City Fire/Rescue, Chief Michael Fenster. 

Chief Fenster was a long time member of the Juneau community.  Along with being a firefighter, he was an avid pilot.  He began working as a pilot for Southeast Skyways in 1971.  In 1982, he co-founded Wings of Alaska, a small airline company that serves Southeast Alaska.

Chief Fenster joined the fire department in 1972 as a volunteer.  In 1991, he became a full time paid chief.  He is remember fondly by his co-workers.  Chief Fenster was always happy, had a great sense of humor, and was always doing something for someone in the department.

Chief Fenster strove for "Readiness, Dedication and Service" throughout his career with CCF/R.  He was instrumental in providing increased care and service to all citizens of Juneau.  Mike was a valuable asset and loved by all.  He will be missed beyond measure.

Thank you Dru for you assistance.
