Pasco Firefighters

06/18/2026

Today at 1448 hours, your Pasco Firefighters were dispatched to a natural cover fire at Burns Road and Road 108. Crews from Fire Stations 83, 84, and 85 responded and found a fast-moving fire endangering a cellular communications tower.

Several companies supporting the expansion and development of our ever-growing city noticed the smoke and immediately jumped into action.

RP Development was in the vicinity with a water tender and quickly reacted, stopping the fire’s northern progression. Almost simultaneously, TJ and Alan from Rotschy Inc. arrived and offered their assistance. TJ proceeded to put on a clinic in rapid fire suppression, stopping the fire’s western progression and drastically reducing the amount of mop-up work required by responding crews.

With temperatures rising and fire activity increasing, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the employees of both Rotschy Inc. and RP Development, who stepped up to serve their community when the opportunity presented itself.

Well…. Unfortunately, it’s that time of year again. This is your friendly reminder to PLEASE be safe this summer as temperatures rise. Be safe, be smart, and always have an evacuation plan. Your Pasco Firefighters and every other agency in our region are currently out fighting multiple large scale wild land fires around the Columbia Basin. We hope everyone gets out and safely enjoys the sun this summer! 🚒

Your Pasco Firefighters wanted to remind everyone that today is more than a holiday. It is a day to remember the heroes who never made it home. We honor their sacrifice, carry their memory, and hold their families close in our hearts. Forever grateful. 🇺🇸

Several of your Pasco Fire units are assisting with this wild land fire in Benton County Fire District #1’s response area. Please be safe and heed to the warnings of the professionals in charge of the active fire scene. Many departments from across the region are working together to mitigate this on going fire! Thank you to all of the citizens for your cooperation during this time!

This EMS Week, we recognize the EMTs and Paramedics who answer the call every day often during someone’s worst moment.
EMS professionals provide critical care, compassion, and calm under pressure.

From life threatening emergencies to helping vulnerable members of our community, their work goes far beyond the back of an ambulance.

Behind every response is extensive training, teamwork, sacrifice, and a commitment to serving others.

Thank you to all the EMTs and Paramedics of Pasco Fire and EMS agencies everywhere for the care you provide and the difference you make in our community every single day.

National Police Week gives us a chance to recognize the men and women of the Pasco Police who show up every day ready to serve our community.

Sure, we joke that they call us for bandaids… and they joke about us staging until the scene is safe to enter. That’s just part of our relationship. But behind the friendly firehouse rivalry is deep respect and gratitude for the officers we work beside every day.

They’re steady in the face of danger, frequently first on scene to provide lifesaving medical care, and somehow manage to handle some of the worst humanity has to offer with professionalism, grit, and compassion.

To our brothers and sisters of Pasco PD: We see the long nights, the difficult calls, and the moments nobody else ever hears about. Pasco is lucky to have you — and so are we. We may joke about staging, but if you really need us, know that nothing will stop us from coming to your aid.

-Your brothers and sisters of 1433

Today your Pasco Firefighters had a call for a Paddle Boarder that was stranded on the Columbia River. Upon arrival to the dock to locate the stranded citizen, our crew was met by another outstanding citizen, Dylan Grad. Dylan heard about the incident unfolding and was kind enough to lend Firefighter Neidhold a ride out to the stranded paddle boarder in order to help release their anchor. Without community members like this our job would be much more difficult. Dylan, thanks again for being an outstanding citizen. Hats off to you today 👊🏼👨🏻‍🚒

May the 4th be with you!

While many are thinking of a galaxy far, far away, your Pasco firefighters are recognizing International Firefighters’ Day.

We may be a little biased, but we believe the work performed by firefighters across the globe is essential. Whether it’s battling a blaze hotter than Mustafar or bringing a new hope when it’s needed most, firefighters bring a level of calm and expertise to chaotic scenes—no force required, just skill built from hours of training.

Today, we recognize the firefighters here in our community and across the world. Thank you for being ready when the call comes in and for standing on the light side of the force.
