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.

Happy New Years! ✨ As we welcome 2025, we wish you a safe, happy, and healthy year ahead. Like every day, 74 Firefighters and Paramedics are on duty staffing fourteen fire stations. They’re ready to serve our community no matter what emergency may arise.
On average, one person is killed about every 45 minutes in a drunk-driving crash, totaling more than 11,000 lives lost each year from these preventable crashes. In Washington, over 50% of overnight fatal crashes on New Year`s Eve are alcohol-related.
That drink, buzz, or “good time” isn’t worth someone’s life. Celebrate the New Year safely and designate a sober driver.
Thank you, to our wonderful Community, for a great 2024! Reflecting on this past year, we:
✨ Participated in over 220 community events and outreach programs
✨ Reached over 1.3 million people on social media
✨ Received voter approval for the Regular Fire Levy Lid Lift
✨ Leveraged partnerships with regional fire districts to provide better emergency services
✨ Celebrated the retirement of seven firefighters
✨ Promoted 18 members to various ranks, including Lieutenant, Captain, and District Chief
✨ Welcomed nine probationary firefighter/EMTs back from the fire academy
✨ Responded to over 35,800 emergency calls (not our official 2024 call total)
✨ Taught fire & life safety programs in 63 schools
We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. In 2025, we’re excited to embark on new initiatives, enhance partnerships, and create a safer and more resilient community.
From our fire family to yours, we wish you a Happy New Year!
