The work we do is high stakes so anything citizens can do to be prepared, prevent fire, and injuries, and help each other out, goes a long way!

Please tell us you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen...that's not expired.

Follow to keep up with your Walla Walla first responders.

Better communication can be the difference between a close call and a clean save.

Lieutenant Sewell walks us through one of the upgrades made possible by the Levy Lid Lift: new wireless headsets for our type four and type five grass trucks. On a loud, chaotic wildland scene, staying in contact with your crew is everything, and when communication breaks down, so does safety. These headsets cut through the engine noise and keep our teams connected whether they're on the truck or off it working the fire.

Upgrades like this one are a direct result of our community choosing to invest in us. To everyone who supported the levy, thank you. Your support keeps our crews safer and our response sharper. Follow Fire District 4 to see more of what your investment makes possible.

A piece of Walla Walla history finds a beautiful second life! For nearly 40 years, Fire District 4 has been home to a bell at Station 45, one that originally belonged to the old Blue Creek School and dates back a century.

Wa-Hi Athletics was on the hunt for a bell to ring in a new football tradition at their stadium and it just so happens, in classic Walla Walla fashion, someone knew someone who could make it happen. Athletic Director Chris Ferenz called former Wa-Hi teacher, now Chief of Fire District 4, and it just so happens we had just the bell.

When the bell needed to be refurbished, we reached out to our talented SEATech students and teachers who happily took on the project. They designed and built a transport cart for the 500-pound bell, carefully cleaning the century-old artifact, remanufacturing a missing internal ringer, and preserving its natural patina by hand. A true labor of love from start to finish.

This fall, that same bell will ring out at Walla Walla High School’s sporting events, beginning with the home football opener on September 11th. From a schoolhouse, to our fire station, to the next generation of students, this is community in action and we’re honored to be part of it.

We invite you to come to the Wa-Hi football opening game on September 11th, at 7:00pm.

We're told we're supposed to have a little fun on social media but here's what we really want you to know. If you ask anyone on our team why they chose this line of work, or what they like most about it, they'll say how meaningful it is to help someone on their worst day.

We might show up at your worst moment and ask what feels like a hundred questions. Yes, there are times we've had to go through medicine cabinets so we can problem solve in a medical emergency. Those questions help us understand what’s happening inside your body. That medication list can be the key to the right treatment.

And yes, sometimes we'll insist on taking you to the hospital when you'd rather tough it out at home.

Our jobs are challenging so we have to find ways to laugh about it sometimes.

Behind the lights and sirens are real people who care deeply about this community and take the trust you place in us seriously. We never forget that on the worst day of someone’s life, we get to be the ones who show up. That’s an honor, and we don't take it lightly.

Follow Fire District 4 for more from the people who are always here when you need us.

Most people think they know CPR, but the details your first responders train on could change everything in an emergency.

CPR is one of the most powerful things a bystander can do before help arrives. That's why we'd love to see more of our neighbors learn it. Imagine a Walla Walla full of everyday heroes, people who don't freeze in a crisis because they know exactly what to do. Consider taking a CPR or first aid course in our community. The skills are simple to learn, they stay with you for life, and one day they could be the reason someone goes home to their family.
