Born and raised in Mossyrock, Morgan Browning still lives in the East Lewis County community famous for its blueberries. She is currently pursuing a firefighting career while volunteering for Lewis County Fire District 3.
On Tuesday, March 12, Browning was honored in the fire district’s fire station in Mossyrock after she won the National Grange 2023 Firefighter/EMT of the Year Award. Nine members of the Mossyrock Grange, along with Browning’s fellow firefighters, were in attendance to see her receive the award.
“This is quite the accomplishment. I was privileged enough to get this award a couple of years ago,” Lewis County Fire District 3 Fire Chief Doug Fosburg said.
Fosberg won the award in 2021.
Mossyrock Grange President Darell Myers said they originally nominated Browning for a different award.
