The Orland Fire District was saddened to hear of the passing of Richard Kukac, a former Firefighter, OFPD Commissioner and Trustee. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, including his son-in-law, OFPD Engineer Travis Herrin.

Passing of Mike Morgan

On December 19, 2021, recently retired OFPD Fleet Maintenance Mechanic Mike Morgan died suddenly. With over 30 years of service, Mike was instrumental in keeping all OFPD apparatus in service and operating safely. He was a valued member of the OFPD family and he will be missed.

A retired OFPD Engineer eloquently shared the impact Mike had on our organization: “...You may have never known him or met him but every time you get behind the wheel of any district vehicle and you apply the brakes, or step on the accelerator, or switch from road to pump, or open the cabinet door and see a custom bracket or pull out tray, I want you to think of the skilled craftsmen/mechanic that built that - Mike…. He was a quiet man, but a great man and he will be dearly missed.”
