The King County Fire Protection District #47 Board of Commissioners became aware on Thursday, 5/23/24 of allegations made against Commissioner Steve Hickey. We are investigating all allegations related to misconduct in connection to Commissioner Hickey's role as a first responder.
As we investigate these allegations, Commissioner Hickey has voluntarily taken an administrative leave of absence from his role as a volunteer firefighter and EMT. We anticipate that he will remain on leave until a report of the investigation has been delivered to the Board. We take seriously any allegations of misconduct by any member of our department and are cognizant of the responsibilities and duties tied to the public trust placed in us.
As in all cases, we ask that any feedback from the public about any of our department members, or members of the Board of Commissioners, be brought formally to our attention by submitting a written statement to feedback@kcfpd47.com.
