Several rivers and areas continue to see river flooding this evening, which will continue into the weekend. This serves as a reminder to never drive or walk through barricades. Turn around, don't drown!

Minor to moderate flooding is reported along Snohomish County rivers, and flood warnings are in place into the weekend. Please exercise care when traveling and turn around if you encounter road closed signs or water over roadways. It may be tempting to see if you can drive through. Please don’t. Many cars will float in a foot of water. And when it is moving, water packs a serious punch. A cubic foot of water – about 7.5 gallons – weighs upwards of 62 pounds. That’s one reason why adults can be swept off their feet by as little as 6 inches of fast-moving water.

Good morning, for the past couple days our firefighters have reporting seeing this dog around the station 54 property - 40lbs, under 2 years old Shepard mix, no collar, male. We left food out which he gobbled up but wouldn’t let anyone close. Last night, the crew left a blanket and food in a storage building and was able to trap the dog to hopefully find the owner or get help it needs from County Animal control. In the meantime the pup is warm and dry, scared and appears a little grumpy it had to spend the night amongst the fire trucks.

**update we’ve had help from everett animal shelter, and he will be in their care https://www.everettwa.gov/148/Animal-Services

Please contact them at 425-257-6000 if you have any information on his owner.

Earlier today some individuals brought three unresponsive 10 week old puppies to station 54. Firefighters found all three puppies were in critical condition with respiratory and full arrest. Firefighters knew that three puppies suffering from same symptoms, the cause had to be environmental poisoning of some kind. Crews performed life saving procedures, including CPR, Oxygen therapy, and administered Naloxone (also known as Narcan). Also knowing that Fetanyl is one of the major causes of poisoning, when introduced in the air as a powder, it was our firefighters best guess that the puppies had experienced a fetanyl OD. The fire officer in charge called for the Sheriffs office to respond as they worked to revive the puppies. The three puppies responded to the treatment and were resusitated. The story doesnt end there. Sheriff deputies were able to find the individuals at their home and found three additional very sick puppies and rushed them to fire station 54 where firefighter-EMTs provided additional life saving measures. All six puppies were taken to a urgent care veterinary clinic. We are told all six puppies are recovering ! A big thank you to our firefighter -EMTs , our Sheriff deputies and the 24 hour urgent care veterinary clinic. It is our hope the puppies fully recover and find loving forever homes !
