A valued retired member of the Burien/Normandy Park Fire Department was honored Thursday afternoon at department headquarters with a reception.
Reicher, specially trained by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as an accelerant canine, is suffering from terminal cancer.
The black Labrador retriever worked numerous fire and arson scenes from June 13, 2001 through June 10, 2008.
After retirement, he worked the important job of being a fire station greeter.
Firefighters also honored Reicher's handler, Bill Harm.
Traveling to Burien to honor Reicher and Harm were fellow accelerant canine Wesley and handler Jennifer Norton from Yakima as well as accelerant canine Henny and handler Capt. Steve Baer from Seattle.
