Ask your parents to read this if you want to visit the fire station!
Call the headquarters station one month in advance to set up a specific time and date for a group of six or more. The number is (360) 619-4167.
Members of the community are encouraged to schedule a visit between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, or Saturday if the crew is available. Options for dates and times are necessarily limited by mandatory drills, safety training, routine maintenance and pre-fire inspections.
To make your group's visit as meaningful as possible, we need the following information from you:
- Which fire station you wish to visit
- Day, date (best day is Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. )
- Time of day (20 minutes is a typical time frame for a tour)
- Number of people in your group
- A contact person and phone number
- Approximate age of visitors (no preschool groups at this time)
- Any special purpose or needs associated with your visit
- Any special accommodation needed. Tours are wheelchair-friendly
Please help us help you by taking the following advice:
- Stay safe by being aware of the heavy equipment and apparatus around you. Sturdy, low-heel shoes are a good choice.
- Visitors are permitted only when firefighters are in quarters at the station.
- Be aware that visits may be shortened or cancelled if unanticipated changes occur in the firefighters' schedule.
- Large groups with young children must insure an adequate number of adult chaperones.
- If driving to the fire station, please park your vehicle so that it does not block the emergency response route of fire apparatus.
- Visits may/will be abruptly ended if personnel must respond to an emergency!
