West Benton Fire Rescue

West Benton Fire Rescue West Benton Fire Rescue is a combination Career/Volunteer fire department, based in Prosser WA We invite any comments or questions that you may have.

The City of Prosser and Benton County Fire District 3 have enjoyed a unique and successful joint Fire/EMS service relationship since the 1950's. By combining their financial, staffing, facility and fleet resources, there is significant evidence of effective and efficient operations for Prosser Fire District 3 and there is evidence that the joint operation has been able to provide a level of servic

e to each jurisdiction that would not be possible on their own. As with most public partnerships, there are always predictable shifts in policy, participation and proliferation of services. These shifts result in the need to re-evaluate and "re-tool" the relationship in order to keep up with the various growth and demand factors in each jurisdiction. Such was the case with the City of Prosser and Benton County Fire District 3. West Benton Fire & Rescue is the result of those changing demands and the recommendations of the Prosser Citizens Task Force. West Benton Fire & Rescue is a combination fire department consisting of volunteer firefighters and full time career. We operate out of two stations providing service to 13,000 residents covering 176 square miles of urban, rural, and agricultural land. West Benton Fire and Rescue personnel are trained in an array of expertise such as: wildland and structural firefighting, ILS (Intermidiate Life Support) medical response, Hazmat, technical rescue and various other rescue operations including swift water. The Chief and Captains provide code enforcement, fire prevention and public education with support from our volunteer firefighters. We are very proud of our member's commitment and dedication to this department and the community to whom they serve. If you would like a tour of our facilities, please give us a call.

🚩 CRITICAL FIRE ALERT: Red Flag Warning Saturday
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) in effect. Hot, dry, and windy conditions will create extreme fire weather, and any fire that starts could spread rapidly.

West Benton Fire Rescue encourages everyone to take extra precautions:
• Do not conduct any outdoor burning.
• Avoid activities that could create sparks near dry vegetation.
• Never park vehicles on dry grass.
• Properly dispose of smoking materials—never discard them from a vehicle.
• Ensure trailer safety chains are secured and not dragging.
• Report any signs of smoke or fire immediately by calling 911.

Wildfires can start with a single spark and spread quickly under today's conditions. Your awareness and responsible actions are critical in helping protect lives, property, and our community.

Thank you for doing your part to help prevent wildfires. Stay informed, remain vigilant, and stay safe.

Happy Independence Day from your WBFR firefighters!We want to remind everyone to stay safe and have fun! 🇺🇸🚒
