Have you noticed that our firefighters regularly wash their fire engines, rain or shine?

The standard of taking pride in our appearance and equipment is deeply rooted in fire service culture. Keeping our apparatus clean is a way for firefighters to demonstrate pride and professionalism in their work.

Moreover, professionalism also involves being well-trained and prepared to perform every aspect of the job. Routine engine washes contribute to both performance and safety by removing dirt, contaminants, and debris that could cause corrosion. This regular maintenance helps enhance the longevity and reliability of our apparatus.

Engaging our community, together.

Collaboration between our fire districts has significantly improved the delivery of educational programs across our community. Over the past year, Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, Graham Fire & Rescue, and Orting Valley Fire & Rescue have worked together to provide fire and life safety education to schools and other groups throughout our community. Consolidating resources allows the districts to provide standardized life-saving education to more community members.

In 2023, Graham Fire & Rescue and Orting Valley Fire & Rescue did not have adequate resources to offer fire safety classes within local schools. After collaborating with Central Pierce Fire & Rescue in 2024, fire and life safety education was delivered to multiple grade levels across 14 schools in the Graham service area, and 3 schools in the Orting Valley Fire & Rescue area. In total, critical life-saving curriculum was delivered to kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 5th grade classes across 77 schools in the Bethel, Franklin Pierce, Orting, and Puyallup School Districts.

This collaborative approach ensures that students from different areas receive the same information and empowers our youth to take charge of their personal safety.

We are excited to kick off the 2025-2026 school year, with the Arrive Alive program. We will be providing this program to high schools across the Puyallup School District, Bethel School District, Orting School District, and Cascade Christian Schools. This program wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration of our dedicated Firefighters, Public Educators, local DUI Advocates, Graham Fire & Rescue, the Puyallup Extrication Team, Pierce County Sheriff's Office, Puyallup Police Department, Orting School District, and Gene's Towing.

This program's main objective is to raise awareness about the real-life consequences of driving while distracted, drunk, or impaired. We want to emphasize to teenagers that the most important thing is making it home safely. We hope this message resonates with drivers of all ages and ultimately reduces the occurrence of these preventable and devastating incidents.

We encourage you to continue the conversation around this life-saving message with your young drivers, friends, and loved ones. Everyone deserves to Arrive Alive.
