The Fourth of July is always our busiest day of the year, and this year was no exception. Between 8:00 AM on July 4 and 8:00 AM on July 5, our crews responded to 252 emergency calls, nearly double our typical 24-hour average of 128.
A sincere thank you to all of the first responders who spent the holiday serving our community instead of being with their own families. We appreciate your dedication and everything you do to keep our community safe. ... See MoreSee Less

Happy National Wildland Firefighter Day! 🌲🔥
This national day was established in 2022 to celebrate the dedication of firefighters who face danger and the physically demanding conditions of wildfires, helping to keep communities and land safe.
Crew 6—our wildland fire apprenticeship program in partnership with South Pierce Fire and Rescue—is on duty Tuesday through Friday every week, responding to wildland urban interface fires, reducing wildfire fuels, and helping strengthen our community’s wildfire preparedness.
Wildfire preparedness starts long before the first spark. In addition to responding to emergencies, we offer free defensible space assessments to help homeowners identify ways to reduce wildfire risk around their property. Creating defensible space can make a significant difference in protecting homes during a wildfire.
