Wildland Fire on Maletti Hill Road
Port Angeles, WA - On Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue was dispatched to a report of wildfire at 12:19 PM. PENCOM (dispatch center) received a phone call from a homeowner that stated there was a fire burning near his house in the Maletti Hill Road area. PENCOM started receiving several calls reporting the fire as well. While crews were responding they could see a visible column of smoke from the area. Additional assistance was requested from Washington State DNR and Clallam County Fire District #3.

Upon arrival of the first crew, the fire was burning along a hillside in a clear-cut area near a home. The fire was initially estimated at about 200 x 200 feet and slowly moving through slash and brush into the trees. The fire was burning away from the home and hose lines were deployed to protect the home and then to encircle the fire. Firefighters deployed several hose lines around the fire and had the fire contained by 1:14 PM. The crews then transitioned into mop-up of the hot spots in the burned area and around the perimeter of the fire. Additional crews were staged lower down Maletti Hill Road due to the limited space near the fire. Eventually Clallam County Fire District #3 units were cleared from the incident.

Washington DNR personnel arrived with supervisors and a wildland engine. A DNR hand crew also arrived and began digging a containment line around the fire. The hand crew and DNR engine crew then completed mop-up of any remaining hot spots. Crews then retrieved all the hose and equipment and cleared the scene at 4:39 PM.

The fire eventually burned approximately ½ acre. The cause of the fire was accidental.

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue responded with one structural fire engine, two wildland fire engines, two water tenders, one command vehicle and a total of seven personnel. Port Angeles Fire Department responded with one command vehicle and chief officer. Clallam County Fire District #3 responded with a battalion chief and wildland engine, but were cleared from the incident after standing by as support in case the fire continued to grow. Washington State DNR responded with several overhead personnel, a hand crew, and wildland fire engine.

There were no injuries reported by civilians or firefighters.

As a reminder, the Clallam County Fire Marshal implemented burn restrictions effective today, June 24th. There is no outdoor residential or commercial burning. At this time recreational fires (campfires) are still allowed but please be careful as wildfire risk is increasing, even with some forecasted rain in the next few days.

This is the 4th wildland fire that Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue has responded to in the last week. Be careful and be safe out there.

Wildland Fire off of East Beach Road

Port Angeles, WA - On Monday, June 22nd, 2026 Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue was dispatched to a report of smoke in the area of Lake Sutherland at 4:23 PM. PENCOM (dispatch center) started receiving multiple reports of smoke in the area. Shortly after these initial calls were received, a resident on Storm King Road near the intersection of Highway 101/East Beach Road reported a brush fire on their property. The initial report was a fire approximately 50 x 50 feet in size.

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue crews were already enroute to the smoke investigation call so they diverted to the brush fire. While enroute mutual aid was requested from Clallam County Fire District #4 (Joyce) and Washington State DNR was notified. Once crews approached the area from east of Lake Sutherland a visible column of smoke could be seen. Additional mutual aid units were requested from the Port Angeles Fire Department.

Upon arrival of the first fire district unit, it was discovered there was a approximately 200 x 100 fire burning in brush, slash, and into the trees. There was a small building on the property that was threatened, however the fire was moving slowly.

Crews began deploying hose lines around the fire perimeter to contain the growth. Water supply was established using a water tender and structural fire engine out on East Beach Road due to the limited access and space at the fire scene. Throughout the fire, wildland fire engines rotated from the scene out to refill with water.
Several Washington State DNR command staff arrived to assist with managing the incident. A wildland engine from DNR and Olympic National Park hand crew personnel also arrived to help fight the fire.

Crews were able to get a containment line around the fire by approximately 6:45 PM. The fire eventually burned approximately 1 acre. Personnel then spent the next several hours mopping up the edges of the fire to prevent any spread outside the containment lines. At 10:45 PM fire district crews cleared the fire scene and personnel from WA DNR/Olympic National Park were going to monitor the fire overnight. Additional DNR personnel were going to respond to the incident scene early Tuesday morning to complete mop up of the fire. Clallam County Fire District #4 was also going to provide a water tender for operations on Tuesday as well.

The cause of the fire was accidental, the property owner reported he had a residential burn on the property that got out of control.
Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue responded with two wildland engines, one structural engine, and two command vehicles with seven personnel. Clallam County Fire District #4 responded with one wildland engine and one water tender with eight personnel. The Port Angeles Fire Department responded with one wildland engine and one command vehicle and three personnel. There were approximately 20 Washington DNR/Olympic National Park personnel at the scene as well who dug containment line and fell hazardous trees.

This fire is another example of the dry conditions we are facing early in the summer.

There may be residual smoke in the area on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 as crews complete extinguishment of the fire.

At 5:08 PM this evening, Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue was dispatched to what was reported as multiple brush fires burning along Highway 101 just east of Deer Park Road. Multiple callers reported the fires on the south side of the highway. A visible column of smoke could be seen in the area. A passing off-duty firefighter was first on-scene and reported at least two separate fires approximately 30 feet by 100 feet burning in grass and brush.

Upon arrival of the first units, it was discovered that the fires were located in Clallam County FD #3’s jurisdiction so they were requested to the scene for additional personnel. Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue crews began suppression of the multiple fire locations. Chief Sharp and Deputy Chief McKeen from the Port Angeles Fire Department were passing the scene and assisted with fireground operations.

DNR was requested to respond to the incident and several Washington State Patrol and Clallam County Sheriff’s deputies provided traffic control, shutting down the outside eastbound lane of Highway 101.

Crews were able to knock down the fires and begin mop up operations. The scene was eventually turned over to DNR who remained on-scene to finish mop up and ensure full extinguishment.

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue responded with two structural fire engines, one wildland fire engine, one water tender, two command vehicles with a total of 10 personnel. Clallam County Fire District #3 and the Port Angeles Fire Department also responded to assist with the incident. The last fire district unit cleared the scene at 6:18 PM. A fire investigator was called in and the cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.

This again is a great reminder that grass and brush are very dry. While there are no burn restrictions currently in Clallam County, please be aware of the increasing risk of wildfires and find alternatives to burning. Thank you

On Wednesday, June 17th Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue was dispatched a reported grass fire along Highway 112 near Lower Dam Road. Units from Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue, along with our automatic-aid partner, Clallam County Fire District #4 were called at 7:06 PM. Crews arrived and were able to quickly contain and extinguish the fire. Lower Elwha Police Department officers and bystanders were working to contain the fire prior to the first fire engine arriving.

This is a great reminder that the grass and brush are drying out fast and with limited forecast of rain in the near future it is only going to increase the risk of wildland fires. Be safe and careful out there!!

On Friday, June 12th, 2026, Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue got to recognize several of our members who recently completed the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course at Peninsula College. Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue had seven of our members complete the course along side several other students.

The EMT-Basic course is an entry-level course to the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) profession. This course focused on: EMT roles and responsibilities, airway management, patient assessment, medical and trauma emergencies, anatomy and physiology, documentation, lifting and moving, and communications. The course also includes practical labs and a total of 10 hours of clinical experience in the field to provide direct hands-on experience with a variety of patients.

The newly graduated students will now complete testing for their National Registry EMT certification. Once that is obtained, they will be issued Washington State EMT certification and can start practicing in the field.

Congratulations to our members who successfully completed the EMT course and are on their way to serving the community.

EMS Levy Information

Why does Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue need an EMS Levy?

There are several reasons why Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue is in need of a EMS Levy. The primary reason is the increasing number of emergency calls the fire district continues to face each year. In order to meet those demands, we need to ensure that we have an adequately equipped and staffed fire district so we are there when you need us.

In this post we want to focus on one of the reasons we need an EMS Levy…MORE PEOPLE!!

The fire commissioners, staff, and personnel at the fire district take great pride in making sure we are properly trained, outfitted, and supplied to handle a wide variety of emergencies. While we can have all the proper equipment, vehicles, training, and tools to perform the job, the critical component is the people who serve every day (aka your firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics).

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue is considered a “combination” fire district. This simply means we use a combination of full-time career, part-time, and volunteer emergency responders. Almost all of our personnel are qualified as firefighter/EMTs or firefighter/paramedics.

The fire district currently has 9 full-time career responders, 12 part-time responders, and about 30-35 volunteer members. There is also a full-time fire chief, deputy fire chief, office manager, and volunteer training coordinator. Combined, we all respond to over 2,000 emergency incidents per year.

As call volumes increase, this puts a strain on the personnel of the fire district, especially the volunteers. Our volunteer members are sometimes not available because of work or family related circumstances. Volunteers are critical members of our organization, however social and economic factors can sometimes restrict their availability.

The increasing call volume also places demand on our small full-time staff as they are stretched thin on a regular basis. 32% of the time we have overlapping incidents. This means that we receive a 911 call when a previous emergency call is in progress. With a large fire district, this spreads the on-duty crew thin as we only have a minimum of 4 personnel on-duty each day (combination of full-time and part-time firefighters).

This EMS Levy will provide funding to hire an additional 6 full-time firefighters to ensure our daily staffing is stable and has a chance to increase. This will allow for better coverage of emergency incidents and reduce the burden on our volunteer firefighters.

Please stay tuned for more breakdown of why the fire district is presenting the EMS Levy for voter consideration.

Thank you!
