Our firefighters returned home safe and sound yesterday afternoon. 🙌
While some assignments can last up to 2 weeks, this was a shorter one, but we heard they got to have lots of fun with our buddies from Orcas Island Fire and Rescue. 👏👏Welcome home crews!

Thanks to everyone who was keeping them in your thoughts as they were deployed. 🙏

We just sent 4 of our wildland firefighters to join one of the 5 strike teams, 3 hand crews and air resources to Columbia County near Dayton, WA to fight the Tucannon Fire.

The Tucannon Fire started on June 16, 2026, at approximately 4:15 p.m. This fire is estimated at 6,000 acres and growing.

Our training live wildland fire evolution is complete for 2026. Our burn area and surrounding spots are being closely monitored throughout the night and next couple of days until we are comfortable it is "dead out".
It is not unexpected to have the smell of smoke lingering in the area after that amount of fire.
Thank you all. Lots of learning happened, but rest assured, plenty of fun was had as well.

Just a little reminder that this afternoon is our live fire training for our wildland firefighter recruits.
You can expect to see smokey conditions around the area of Mullis & Argyle.
Conditions are well-monitored and supervised with appropriate safety measures taken into account by our experienced instructor cadre.
San Juan County 911 and neighboring residents has been notified.
Thank you for your understanding
