In the afternoon of March 20th, BVFD Chief Olsen passed away of a heart attack.
The department and the entire community he served for so many years are in mourning at this sudden loss. More details will follow soon. For now, here is what County Supervisor Estelle Fennell had to say on BVFD’s Facebook page.
Thank you, Tim for all you did to follow your dream and make the BVFD one of the best little fire departments ever! We will miss your energy, your heart, your generosity of mind, body and spirit. Your memory will be with us forever and all who knew and loved you will carry the dream forward!
There will be a ceremonial flag raising and lowering at 1800 hours at the station today in his honor.
