Tonight, EF&R was called to reports of smoke at a residence with a smoke alarm sounding. Thankfully, the call was only burnt food on the stove. Engine 173 was provided with cold lemonade by the neighbors, which made everyone’s night!

The hot weather has made our local lakes and rivers a popular place to visit. Please remember we have TEN life jacket loaner stations in our service area. Borrowing a life jacket is free and could save your life, especially in the cold water. Thank you to the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund for funding these stations. A map below for a full list of locations.

EF&R is on scene of a water rescue at Lake Sammamish State Park. One male swimmer in his 30’s was seen floating facedown in the swimming area near his inflatable water chair. Bystanders were able to pull him to shore and begin CPR. Rescue teams from EF&R, Issaquah Police Department and Bellevue (WA) Fire Department worked for 30 minutes to regain a shockable rhythm. The patient was transported to an area hospital. This is a reminder the waters at Lake Sammamish and all our area waters are chilly and often don’t have Lifeguards on duty. The weather is warming up but our local waters are dangerously cold.
