Proud of our members' work on yesterday's house fire on Walnut Street. Crews arrived to find a working fire that had already spread from a detached garage to the main residence and a neighboring garage.

BATTLE OF THE BADGES

"There have been no major upgrades in 46 years. It's full of mold, mildew, and leaks."

Birch Bay resident Jennifer Plombon discusses the condition of Fire Station 63 and why investing in modern, safe facilities matters for the firefighters and emergency personnel who serve our community every day.

Please vote YES on the District 21 Levy Lid Lift.
