Five years after rescuing Snowball, Fudge and Mocha from a house fire, we got the sweetest kind of reunion. The homeowner, and pup parent, reached out to let us know everyone was thriving! We love these types of happy endings. 🚒🐾

A Stage 1 Burn Ban is now in effect countywide. This restricts the burning of any yard waste/debris (which is never permitted in Bellevue). Recreational fires are still allowed as long as they are 25' from structures, 10' from vegetation and are attended at all times.

We are devastated about the ambushed firefighters in Idaho today. Firefighters respond selflessly to protect lives, and no one should ever fear for their safety, especially from violence, while doing this job.
To the community impacted, and to the fire service, we grieve with and stand beside you.

Last week some of our rescue technicians spent three days training for tower rescues. From the classroom to climbing a communication tower to rappelling from a tower crane, we train hard so we’re always prepared.

We're heading into a heat advisory. And while the air may be sweltering, our lakes are still chilly enough to cause cold water shock. Jumping in too fast can be dangerous - even for strong swimmers. Play it safe. Wear a life jacket and keep eyes on those swimming. #ColdWaterSafety #PNWHeat

Ladder 103 came to the rescue of baby ducklings trapped in a storm drain. A passerby called it in—unfortunately, mom was nowhere to be found. Crews safely retrieved the them, brought them to Seattle Humane & are happy to share they’re heading to a new home on a lake and five-acre property!
