WHAT WE DO
- We provide fire and life safety services to over 12,000 residents. We rely on full-time, part-time, and volunteer emergency personnel who have responded to over 3,600 calls last year.
- This is an increase of over 1,100 calls per year since 2018.
- From January through June 30, 2023, 37% of Sedro-Woolley Fire Department’s incidents have had a second 911 emergency happen prior to crews being able to complete their first assigned incident.
- Our emergency personnel are trained in the following areas:
- Fire suppression and prevention
- Medical Emergencies
- Hazardous material response
- Vehicle accidents and extrication
- Fire and life safety education
THE LID LIFT WILL REDUCE RESPONSE TIMES AND IMPROVE SERVICE
- It will fund 8 additional firefighter/EMT’s.
- These 8 new personnel will allow for the ability to add one extra engine or ambulance each day.
See the Levy Lid Lift page and Proposition 1 flyer for additional details.
