wift action saves lives.
from East County Fire and Rescue
Structure fires grow quickly creating life threatening conditions in minutes and quickly cause severe damage to property. Rapid response minimizes risk. For medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, stroke, and major trauma immediate intervention is also crucial. Temporary closure of Station 94 on SE 352nd Avenue due to lack of staffing results in increased response time that can seriously impact the fire and emergency incident outcomes.
Transitioning to increased full-time staffing at Stations 91 and 94 would reduce response times and be an investment in the reliability and efficiency of services crucial to our community's well-being. This approach would ensure that your fire and rescue services remain ready, responsive, and financially responsible, reflecting the values we all share for a safe and secure community.
