Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Fire Prevention Week! We welcomed nearly 300 community members across four fire station open houses and our first-ever Fire Prevention Week Trivia Night at Flatstick Pub.

The station open houses gave our crews a chance to share practical safety information while building familiarity and trust with the community we serve. Each open house included live-fire demonstrations that taught community members best practices for handling cooking fires, which are the leading cause of fires in Redmond. The demonstrations drew a lot of interest and sparked great questions and engagement.

We also brought fire and life safety education to trivia night! Our first-ever Fire Prevention Week Trivia Night was a fun and interactive way to test knowledge, learn something new, and connect with fellow community members. The enthusiasm and participation made it a memorable first for Redmond Fire. Congrats to our winners who went home with some special prizes!

And a special shout-out to our Redmond Fire crews for their hard work preparing the stations, welcoming visitors, and making safety education engaging and accessible for all.

Events like these remind us how important it is to build strong relationships with the community we serve. Thank you to everyone who came out, asked questions, shared a few laughs, and made this year’s Fire Prevention Week such a success!

Oct. 19 – 23 is National School Bus Safety Week! This week raises awareness about school bus safety, with the ultimate goal of keeping students safe on and around the bus. When traveling near a school bus, make sure you are doing your part and following school bus laws:

• Stop completely when a school bus’s stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing – it's the law. Proceed only when the bus moves again or the signals deactivate.

• Never attempt to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. It’s against the law.

• All vehicles traveling in the same direction as the school bus, regardless of their lane, must stop. Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction must stop only on two-lane roads without a median.

• Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop, and drivers should also slow down and prepare to stop.

• Be mindful of the “Danger Zone,” which is the immediate area around the front, back, and sides of a bus where a bus driver can’t see students.

Be patient, be alert, and be the reason a student gets home safely.

Residents of one apartment are displaced as a result of the damage. Thank you to Bellevue Fire and Quality Towing for their assistance.

Today is International ShakeOut Day, when millions of people worldwide participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home! Western Washington, including Redmond, is highly vulnerable to earthquakes. While their timing or strength cannot be accurately predicted, they are a certainty of living in this beautiful part of the country. You can join the millions of people across Washington by practicing drop, dover, and hold on for one minute at 10:15 a.m. today, Oct. 15. This is a great way to build muscle memory for when you feel the ground shaking during the next earthquake.

At 1:55 a.m. this morning, Redmond Fire, along with Eastside Fire & Rescue, Fall City Fire, and Bellevue Fire, responded to a residential structure fire near the 27000 block of NE Ames Lake Road. One three-story building and two vehicles caught fire, requiring a large response, with nearly all of Redmond Fire's units arriving on scene.

The fire has been extinguished, but hotspots are likely present, and the community should avoid the area if possible. NE Ames Lake Road has fully reopened, but may see future closures.

This is an active investigation, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.

Fire Prevention Week is here! Fire Prevention Week has been observed for more than a century as a reminder of the devastating impact of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the importance of preventing fires before they start. This year’s theme is “Charge Into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.” We have plenty happening around Redmond, including four fire station open houses and our new Fire Prevention Trivia Night at Flatstick Pub Redmond.
