Maple Valley’s first CERT captain moves up the ladder

Maple Valley resident, Paul Bokor, has been a Community Emergency Response Team or CERT Captain for a two years and recently become the city’s very first CERT battalion chief. He was recognized at the commissioners meeting April 1, but this was no April Fools joke. Bokor exchanged his red helmet for a white along with accepting more duties. Paul has donated hundreds of hours to help the community receive the best training possible.
