🌲🔥 Sweat today, safety tomorrow! 🔥🌲

This past weekend, several of our members laced up and crushed their annual Wildland Pack Test.

To qualify for wildland firefighting deployment, our members have to power through a grueling 3-mile walk carrying a 45-pound pack in under 45 minutes. No jogging, no running—just pure grit and at a fast walking pace.

We are proud of you all! Plus, they stayed together to complete this test as a team. That’s the Olympia Fire Way! 👏

At the Olympia Fire Department Mark Noble Regional Fire Training Center, our crews spend hours perfecting fundamental skills like hose deployments, ladder placement, and establishing a water supply. Why? Because under pressure, basic skills must be second nature. By mastering the fundamentals, we reduce response times, increase on-scene safety, and ensure we are always ready.

Just like our moto here at the Olympia Fire Department.

▪️Be nice ▪️Be ready ▪️Be safe

Let’s keep this state beautiful and safe together. Always follow these rules:

1️⃣ Check local fire restrictions before any outdoor burning.

2️⃣Never leave a campfire or open flame unattended.

3️⃣Avoid using lawnmowers or equipment that can spark on dry, windy days.

Whether you're commuting through Olympia or enjoying a weekend ride, these rules and safety tips can help prevent crashes and keep our roads safe:

🚲 For Bicyclists 🚲

Wear a Helmet: Always use a properly fitted helmet that meets the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. It should be snug, not rock more than an inch, and sit level on your forehead.

Ride with Traffic: Ride in the same direction as traffic and stay on the far right. Obey all stop signs, traffic lights, and lane markings.

Be Visible: If riding at dusk or nighttime, always use front white lights, rear red lights, and reflectors. Bright or reflective clothing is highly recommended.

Signal Your Moves: Use hand signals well inadvance when turning or stopping so drivers know your intentions.

🚗 For Motorists 🚗

Share the Road: Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities on the road as motorists. Respect their space and avoid driving in bike lanes.

Give Space: Maintain at least 3 feet of clearance when passing a cyclist on the road.

Avoid Distractions: Put your phone away and keep your eyes focused on the road, watching blind spots and intersections.

Check Before Opening Doors: Always check your rearview and side mirrors for cyclists before opening your car door into traffic.

Let’s keep Olympia safer together!

Seconds count when saving lives. ⏱️🚁

This week, the Olympia Fire Department teamed up with Airlift Northwest and Life Flight Networkfor joint training on alternate landing zones at Providence St. Peter Hospital. When a patient is in critical condition, they often need a specialty trauma center with capabilities beyond what is available locally in Thurston County.

By practicing seamless transfers with our air ambulance partners, we ensure our community gets the highest level of care as fast as possible.

We appreciate you both today, and every day! 💕

Have you heard of the Olympia Fire Department’s free Community Assistance Referral & Education Services (C.A.R.E.S.) program yet? If you haven’t, that means you probably haven’t needed their assistance, and their assistance is always 100 percent confidential.

The C.A.R.E.S team says it best themselves:

“The C.A.R.E.S. team strives to support a healthier community and reduce reliance on the 911 system and local emergency departments for non-acute concerns. We accomplish this goal through advocacy, assistance, education, and mobile-integrated healthcare to the City of Olympia. We believe that everyone deserves to receive sustainable tools and practical connections to increase the livability, independence, and the overall success of our community.”

🚨Olympia Fire Department Responds to Early Morning Vehicle Fire🚨

At approximately 3:30 a.m. this morning, Olympia Fire Department Engine O2 responded to emergency reports of a vehicle fire in the 400 block of Sherman Street SW.

Upon arrival, fire crews observed a vehicle with heavy fire originating from the engine compartment and rapidly extending into the passenger cabin. Crews initiated an immediate attack, quickly extinguishing the fire. A thorough search of the vehicle was conducted, and crews confirmed that no occupants were trapped inside.

The primary vehicle is considered a total loss. A second vehicle, parked in close proximity to the original fire, sustained significant heat damage.

No injuries were reported during the incident. Due to the suspicious nature of the fire, Olympia Police Department was requested to assist.

The cause is still under investigation.
