Chief Ambrose "Andy" Bertsch

Thank you Thomas Michael Bertsch for sharing these great old photos. Tom, retired Captain with Cal-Fire, is the youngest son of the late Ambrose (Andy) Bertsch who served as Fire Chief of the Washington Fire Department from about 1964 to 1978. Grampa Frank Norton served a term as Fire Commissioner with Chief Bertsch and one of his proudest moments is when they voted to purchased a Snorkle Fire Truck for our district.
