Public Safety

Its that time of year again! With the warm weather we are getting its that time to head for water. There are a few safety tips we would like you to keep in mind.

  • When out on the water, never swim alone and wear a life jacket.
  • Boat Safe, Boat Sober. Ensure that everyone on the vessel has a life jacket and know their capabilities.
  • Drink plenty of fluids when out in the sun for a long period of time. Drinking water reduces the chance for heat stroke.
  • Be extra careful when driving around residential areas, parks, and water areas for it is almost garunteed that kids will be at play.

Here are some Summer Safety Links.

Ever wanted to see what the inside of a firehouse looks like? Well come over and hang out with us for awhile. Crews will be more than happy to show any person of any age around the station and on the rigs. Ask us any questions on how we do things or why. If you want to bring the class or a group to the station, we’ll show them around too! For more information or want to schedule a tour, call any of our stations that you would like to see and make one today!

Just call the Admin office at (360) 652-1246 and find out more information on how to setup a class.

Address Program

Are we able to find you in an emergency? In an emergency, every second counts and there is no better way to help us out than to ask a reflective address sign. It’s easy. Call any of our stations and say you want one! We ask for a $12 donation and if supply is available it will only take a day to make. Not only that, but we will even install it for you. So don’t wait for the emergency to find out that your address is not visible from the road.

Burn Regulations

Burn permits are required and can be issued through the Snohomish County Fire Marshals office. North County Regional Fire Authority participates with the Fire Marshals office so we have capabilities to issue a burning permit for residential applications. For more information contact any of our stations or go to the Snohomish Outdoor Burning Information site or call the hotline at 425-388-3508.
