Our condolences to the Marriott family and the Port Townsend, Washington Fire Department. FireFighter and Engineer Allan Marriott, 46, a 21 year veteran with the Port Townsend Fire Department died Saturday, September 8, 2001. Allan was responding to a working boat fire in the town's seaport during the 25th Annual Wooden Boat Festival. His crew had already stretched lines when they found out that it was merely a barbecue on the boat. Allan was operating the engine when he collapsed in cardiac arrest. EMT's onscene transported him to a hospital but were unable to revive him.

     Allan was honored by his piers many times as the top responder throughout his career with the department. A memorial service is to be held Thursday, September 13, 2PM at the McCurdy Pacillion, in Fort Worden State Park.

     Our brother, Allan, left behind a wife and three adult children, as well as one grandchild and another on the way. The family requests that instead of flowers, donations be made to:
