Gary Mahugh blazes into next phase of life with business transition

After 23 years of business, Gary and Luann Mahugh have sold Evergreen’s Mahugh Fire and Safety to focus more on their other business, Northern Rockies Fire. 

“I want people to know that we are not going away,” Gary Mahugh said. “We are just focusing on the equipment side now. To be able to help people when they truly are in need is a really big deal for us.”

Mahugh, born and raised in Creston, has been around fire since he was a kid. His father was a training officer for the Creston Fire Department and Mahugh joined the force himself in 1974 just after he turned 18 years old. From forest fires to house fires, Mahugh knew he wanted to be involved in firefighting.
