🔥👨‍🚒 Happy Father’s Day from Quilcene Fire Rescue! 👨‍🚒🔥

Today we want to recognize all the amazing dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures out there — the ones who lead, protect, teach, support, and show up for their families every single day. Your strength, guidance, and love make a difference more than you know.

As families fire up the grill this Father’s Day, here’s a quick safety reminder:

🍔 Grilling Safety Tip:
Always grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area, keep your grill away from your home, deck, and anything that can burn, and never leave it unattended.

From our QFR family to yours, we hope you have a safe and happy Father’s Day!

🚒❤️ Proud to serve. Honored to protect.

🚒 Quilcene Fire CARES Team 🚒

Quilcene Fire CARES is a free, non-emergency program that helps connect community members with health resources, support services, and referrals.

The goal of the CARES program is to help citizens access and connect with the resources they need before an emergency arises. Whether someone needs assistance with housing, transportation, food access, medical care, safety, community connections, or other support services, our CARES Team is here to help guide them through the process.

There are no requirements to sign up.

A CARES Team member can meet with you in your home to learn more about your needs, your goals, and any challenges that may be affecting your health, safety, or overall well-being. From there, our team can help connect you with available resources, make referrals, provide follow-up, and support you as you work toward your goals.

Quilcene Fire CARES serves Quilcene, Brinnon, and Discovery Bay. Olympic Connect is our care hub and partner serving Jefferson, Clallam, and Kitsap counties.
