What seemed like a routine call quickly turned into something much bigger (in the best way). One of our crews (E65) noticed that one of our community members needed an accessible way to enter his home. So, last shift, the crew on E65 purchased some lumber. And today they came back to build a ramp for this citizen in need. We are honored to be trusted by you all when you call for emergency help, and giving back to the community that supports, cares for, and rallies behind us is means the world to us.

We often post about the training that happens on a large-scale, but did you know our crews also conduct company-level training as well? Here is Engine 69 B-Shift working together to not only train but also continue the education and application of this work for Probationary Firefighter Cox.
What’s happening & why: Cox and Riddle were doing quick attacks with the deluge gun, simulating a heavily involved 2nd story room and contents fire.
E69 B-Shift: Lt. Estes, FF Riddle, FF Lamie, & Probationary FF Cox

Is this your dog? We had a citizen bring this lost dog to Station 61 (in Parkland). He was roaming up and down Pacific Ave. He is safe and sound with our crew until he’s reunited with his humans. Please share this post so we can get him home! 🐶🚒

Today in Seattle, 10 of our Central Pierce Firefighters participated in the annual #FirefighterStairclimb.
This year’s participants were Capt. Johnson, Capt. Moe, Lt. Kuzaro, Lt. Smith, FF Orseth, FF Ford, FF Vlasenko, FF/Team Captain Richmond, FF Hepler, and FF Seberson.
This event is near and dear to the hearts of fire departments around the country. To participate is to climb 69 floors, which is 1,356 steps and 788’ of elevation. They do this in full structural turnout gear while on air.
Team CPFR raised nearly $7,000, all of which goes toward the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are honored to make this climb with our brothers and sisters but more than that, it’s a privilege to be able to give back to those fighting these cancers.
We want to thank @skyviewobservatory for hosting, @firefighterstairclimb for organizing this incredible event, and @llsusa for the profound work they do. Thank you for having us and our families out today; we will see you again next year!

Scout Day • March 11, 2023
Today was such a wonderful afternoon with the scouts in our community and our partners here in Pierce County. We hosted approximately 100 scouts and their families for a fire station & fire engine tour followed by learning from the experts in fingerprinting, crime prevention, emergency preparedness, safety, and aquatic safety. They also got a special visitor and demonstration from Arson Dog Hansel! Special shoutout to those who helped make it all happen: @officialsouthsound911 @redcrossnorthwest @goldfish_puyallup @puyalluppd @piercesheriff @arsondoghansel. And a huge thank you to @boyscoutsofamerica & @girlscoutsww for the work you all do with the youth!

Fire Ground Ops • Multi-Agency Training
Today, crews from multiple agencies joined us on the drill ground for fire ground ops, command and control, communications, hose lines, and a downed firefighter working the scene at a strip mall. This training is critical because it allows for a wide array of skills to be practiced and fine-tuned for everyone involved (battalion chiefs, officers, drivers, and firefighters).
Thank you to @westpiercefire, @eastpiercefire, @orting_valley_firefighters, @graham_fire_rescue, and @officialsouthsound911 for joining us and making it an incredible training!

This afternoon, crews were on scene at a residential fire near Shaw Road (which caused a slowing of traffic on Shaw Rd). Everyone got out of the home safely while firefighters continued to work. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. Thank you to @orting_valley_firefighters for providing mutual aid on this call.
The homeowner said they went to open the front door but the smoke was too thick and dark and knew to get away at a safe distance. We applaud them for standing back and not risking their health by going into the home. The smoke produced by the fire is toxic and dangerous, so once you get out, stay out.

Earthquakes are a reality in our region, and the next one could happen at any moment. That's why Central Pierce Fire & Rescue wants you to be prepared.
-Do you have an emergency plan in place for you and your family?
-Do you have an emergency kit with enough supplies to last for at least three days?
Don't wait until it's too late to prepare. Learn how to make an emergency plan and build a kit by visiting bit.ly/41l0WmA

“Woof woof! We just had a paw-some day rescuing Max, a little Yorkie, who got stuck in an HVAC air vent. Our firefighters went under the house and brought Max to safety. This just goes to show that we’ll do anything for our furry friends. Remember to keep your pets safe, and if you need us, we’ll be there in a bark! 🐶❤️ #CentralPierceFireAndRescue #DogRescue #MaxTheYorkie”
