With warmer temperatures, drier vegetation, and increased recreational activities, summer is a busy time for the Redmond Fire Department. Since May 1, 2026, Redmond Fire has responded to 31 vegetation and urban interface fires, 19 structural fires, 35 room and contents fires, and 183 vehicle accidents and fires. In that same time period, Redmond Fire provided emergency medical responses to 70 cardiac arrests, 70 strokes, and 15 pregnancy-and-childbirth-related calls. The department also responded to approximately 3,400 additional calls, ranging from automated fire alarms to elevator rescues and diabetic emergencies.

From our firefighters and drivers to our paramedics and administrative staff, our team is working around the clock to keep our community safe as we enter the peak of summer heat. If you see any of our staff around town, give them a wave and show your appreciation!

King County just released a new Wildfire Ready Toolkit. This is perfect timing as Western Washington’s wildfire seasons continue to grow hotter, drier, and longer. This toolkit is designed to help Redmond community members get their households ready for wildfire season. It covers simple but effective housekeeping steps, evacuation planning, communication planning, and guidance on building an emergency supply kit. Learn more at redmond.gov/WildfireToolkit.

School starts back up this month, and that means our roads are once again a part of the classroom. Let’s show students what safe driving looks like.

Kids don’t always move predictably. They may step into a crosswalk while looking for friends, drop something near the road, or run back toward a bus without warning.

When you see a school bus or crosswalk, give the road your full attention:
• Yellow bus lights mean slow down and prepare to stop, not speed up to get past.
• Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk; it may be shielding a person you can’t see.
• Make eye contact with children and crossing guards before moving.
• Leave extra space around buses: children can appear from either side.

A few extra seconds behind the wheel could protect a child for a lifetime. Let’s make every trip to and from school a safe one.

On Saturday, July 18, Redmond Fire hosted the B***y family for a “Day in the Life of an Electric Fire Engine” experience. The B***y family won the “Day in the Life” auction item at the annual Make-a-Wish Gala & Auction in Seattle, which takes place every March. Their day with Redmond Fire included a ride in the electric fire engine, a simulated fire response, rides in Redmond Fire’s emergency off-road vehicle, lunch with the crews at Station 11, and a ride in the Ladder 116 aerial bucket. Thanks, B***y family, for sharing your day with us. You’re officially a part of the Redmond Fire family now!

Effective immediately, the King County Fire Chief’s Association, King County Fire Marshals Association, and the King County Fire Marshal have implemented a Stage 2 Burn Ban covering all parts of King County.

This ban specifically prohibits all outdoor fires, including recreational campfires, cooking fires, and ceremonial fires - and it will remain in effect until further notice. The ban does not include propane or natural-gas-fired grills, fireplaces, fire tables, and other gas-fired appliances. These devices may continue to be used along with charcoal grills.

Redmond Fire encourages all residents to burn in accordance with their local jurisdiction's requirements and maintain a fire-safe environment.
