At a memorial service for his father last Saturday, Frank Harshfield listens as Drew Erickson, a Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety firefighter, tells him about the first time he met Bill Harshfield, known to virtually all as “Chief” in recognition of his long tenure as chief and a founder of Maple Valley’s first fire department. The family – including granddaughter Luann Baker, who read her daughter’s poem about “great-grandpa” – and friends of Harshfield attended the service at Maple Valley Historical Fire Engine Museum. Harshfield, 91, died Dec. 23.
