Orting Valley Fire & Rescue
On April 22, 2025, Orting community members approved merging Orting Valley Fire & Rescue with Central Pierce Fire & Rescue. We will operate under a contract for services for the remainder of 2025 and then become one legal entity on January 1, 2026. We will maintain this Orting specific landing page through the end of the year.
