Your Fire Districts: Better Together
Learn more by clicking the link in our bio.
Your fire districts are making station improvements and identifying infrastructure that will improve response times and enhance emergency services now and into the future.
Recently, we acquired the old station 72 at 10900 Shaw Rd E from the City of Puyallup. The station—undergoing light renovations—will house our Engine Academy program, replacing the traditional fire academy. Four recruits and two officers will staff the training engine, gaining hands-on experience responding to calls alongside other stations while completing academy curriculum. When opened, it will be renamed station 41.
We are remodeling stations 61 and 66 to address service gaps and longer response times within specific areas of our district. Station 61 houses an engine, ladder truck, and medic unit, while station 66 houses a medic unit and a heavy rescue unit. Heavy rescue units are specialized to handle complex emergencies such as vehicle extrications, structural collapses, and other technical rescue operations.
A new station will serve the Graham-Kapowsin area, replacing the current volunteer station 92. This station will provide additional emergency response services for this growing community. We anticipate opening the new station by the end of 2028.
Together, your fire districts are leveraging existing capital improvement funds to complete these projects—meaning we are not currently seeking any additional bonds or levies for these service improvements.

January is firefighter cancer awareness month, and our fire district is committed to taking action to reduce the risk of occupational cancers among our first responders. A few steps we’ve taken include:
🔴 Implementing response gear to reduce exposure to PFAS within structural firefighting bunker gear.
🔴 Issuing our firefighters two sets of bunker gear.
🔴 Providing in-depth LifeScan public safety physicals.
🔴 Equipping each station with commercial washers and dryers (extractors) to decontaminate gear after fires.
🔴 Installing diesel exhaust removal systems at each station to reduce exposure in apparatus bays.
Just five more days until we can connect with you at our Station 72 Open House! We hope you’ll join us to explore the services we provide, take a tour of our engines and medic units, meet your first responders and community partners, enjoy delicious food, and learn how your fire district is collaborating to better serve you.

The Central Pierce, Graham, and Orting Valley Fire & Rescue Boards of Commissioners have taken a significant step towards enhancing their services by entering contracts for services while simultaneously exploring a merger to create a new regional fire service organization. This strategic move is an interim arrangement and aims to provide immediate efficiencies, ensuring efficient district management and enhanced service delivery for the community while we explore placing a merger measure on the ballot.
Here are a few examples of how community members will see the contract in action:
When you call 9-1-1, a Central Pierce, Graham, or Orting Valley Fire & Rescue fire engine, medic unit, or ladder truck may respond. Additionally, the emergency response vehicle may be staffed by first responders from all three fire districts.
Administrative staff from all three fire districts are now working out of a centralized location at the Fire District Administrative Operations Center located at 1015 39th Ave SE, Puyallup, WA 98374. Community members can visit this location for operational permits, public records requests, and other customer service inquiries. All three fire district’s main phone numbers will be answered at this location.
If you utilize the PulsePoint app, the three agency accounts have been consolidated into a new account allowing users to view incidents across all three fire districts in one location. You can follow the new account by searching for “Central Pierce, Graham, and Orting Valley Fire & Rescue.”
Community members will see an increased use of the “Better Together” logo shown above. This logo was developed to highlight the ongoing collaboration between the three fire districts. This logo does not replace our fire district’s official logos.
