Always supporting our “little” community! #centralpiercefire #community #piercecounty #puyallup
This hot weather has really dried everything out (even after the rainy spring we had). These conditions increase fire danger and the probability of brush fires. We have responded to 25 in the last 11 days. These photos were shared with us by a reporting party of a brush fire from today.
🔥clear flammable vegetation and debris from the area around your home and outbuildings.
🔥Ensure all materials with fire are properly extinguished (e.g. bonfires, cigarettes, etc.)
🔥 Remove limbs that overhang the roof or chimney of your home.

Earlier today crews from Station 72 and Puyallup Police Department (@puyalluppd) responded to a call for a car collision into a commercial structure. Upon arrival, crews assessed everyone and one patient was transported to the hospital (in stable condition).

It's a beautiful day to live in the Pacific Northwest and serve the best community of all time!!
We were inspired by the mountain's out photo from our friends at @graham_fire_rescue to share this throwback of E69!

Today we hosted a multi-agency drill for MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) with CPFR, Orting, Tacoma, and Spokane Valley. The training that occurred today is the county’s standard for this type of incident. We were honored to host neighboring WA agencies. People often ask why we train with others, and EMS Lt. Currie explained it best: “The reason we do it together is because interagency work on an MCI is much higher because the amount of resources needed. We want to work cohesively so that the care needed is delivered effectively and efficiently.”

Central Pierce Fire & Rescue (CPFR) is now accepting applications for lateral Firefighter candidates who are certified EMTs or Paramedics interested in joining our team as a Firefighter/EMT or Firefighter/Paramedic.
While the election results are not yet certified, it is humbling to see the level of support our communities offer the District. Both Propositions are currently passing by more than 70%. As shared, both Propositions are critical for the men and women of Central Pierce Fire & Rescue to do the job they do every day. That job is to serve you.
Once we know the certified results, the District will be excited to share our updated plans with you. These plans include projects we believe can expand our emergency services while staying within the existing resources you have offered.
On behalf of the Board of Fire Commissioners, Staff, and all Central Pierce Fire & Rescue members, we thank you for your continued support.

National Night Out 2022 was incredible! We are grateful and honored to be invited to your community gatherings celebrating safety! Our crews from Station 61 had a blast talking with all the kids about what’s on the engine truck and showing them inside! Our crews from Station 69 are thrilled to have given away nearly 80 bike helmets (for free) to the kids in the Sunrise community. And our friend, the Chick-fil-A Cow, got a chance to pose with the engine! We love our communities!

Medic 61 got a perfect view of this double rainbow when the summer sunshine and hose water hit just right!
☀️We are glad the temperatures are cooling down enough to enjoy the outdoors today.
💦Even though it’s not as hot, remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and a hat, and take shade breaks.
⛵️For those eyeing the rivers and lakes: keep in mind that even after all the 90°+ temps we’ve had, the water here is still very cold! Stay safe, Pierce County!

What an honor it was to participate in this wonderful event, put on by the Blue Scarf Society and @puyallupsumnerchamber, hosted at @theoldcannery alongside our neighbors and partners @east_pierce_firefighters_3520 and the Mayor of Puyallup, Dean Johnson. The checks you see them holding are a result of fundraising by the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters Burn Foundation.
The firefighters involved have been dedicated to providing support to burn survivors through events, time, and community engagement. This year, they were able to raise $2662 and then this morning The Old Cannery presented them with a check for another $1000. The generosity to help the burn survivors is incredible, and we are thankful to be part of communities that care so deeply for each other.

The weather this week is HOT 🔥🥵 There are 2 cooling centers available through Friday within CPFR's district: Brookdale ES and Harvard ES. These centers can be accessed from 12:00 pm- 8:00 pm.
Some tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe:
☀️ When possible, spend time in air-conditioned places, such as the mall, movie theater or other cool public place.
☀️ Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun.
☀️ Dress in lightweight clothing.
☀️ Limit the time you spend in direct sunlight.
☀️ Do not leave infants, children, pets or people with limited mobility in a parked car.
💦 Stay hydrated! Sweating helps your body cool down (which is a great function) but you may not realize how much water you are losing from sweating on days as hot as this.
💦 If you're thirsty, you are already slightly dehydrated.

Fill The Boot today was a huge success for MDA. Did you know that 100% of what gets put into the boot goes to the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association)? We are grateful to partner with the community in giving to such an incredible organization for treatment and therapies.
And, while we were out there this morning, a car broke down and the guys were able to get her battery jumped and on her way. Always happy to serve and be of assistance to this community we love!

Join us in celebrating the newest paramedic of CPFR: Mike Cable. Prior to joining the fire service, he worked as an RN, bringing extensive healthcare knowledge and experience to this field. His background and commitment to quality patient care make him an asset to our department and this community we are fortunate enough to serve. Congratulations, FF/PM Cable!

M.A.S.H. Camp 2022 was a huge success and we are honored to have been invited to participate! High school students from around the region came together last week for the MultiCare Academy for Students in Healthcare (M.A.S.H.) Camp and one of the stations was run by FF/Paramedic Dormaier and EMS Captain Fox! They hosted 12 small groups in one day that included a tour of the medic unit, a simulated cardiac arrest (including intubation), and Q&A with the professionals.
When given the chance to participate in community events like this, it’s always an emphatic yes from us, like Captain Fox shared “What we do as paramedics in the field is directly integrated into health care; it’s all about collaboration, community, and continuation of care. The kids learned about EMS and our role as the link in survival. This camp gives us the chance to connect with both the youth and emergency rooms.”

What do firefighters do on their days off? Some pretty cool things! This weekend 3 of our own (C. Richmond, M. Vlasenko, and M. Dormaier) participated in the Seattle-to-Portland Bike Ride. They completed the 206 mile journey in one day! This weekend also brought a group from CP together with a group from @graham_fire_rescue at an annual softball tournament in Olympia. 3 things to know about our crews: they enjoy staying physically active (even in challenging situations), they are a family inside and out of the station, and they love being part of the community we serve locally and on the state-level.
