Guemes Island Fire Department

Community Update: Guemes Island is under a modified burn ban, permitting campfires in regulated pits. Fireworks are limited to legal products; examples of permissible and prohibited items are provided in the attached image. As a volunteer fire station operating with limited water and resources, our response capacity differs from city stations, potentially resulting in longer response times. We rely on water transportation rather than drafting from hydrants, which may increase our response time by up to 10 minutes. In the event of an emergency, you must call 911 as soon as possible to ensure a prompt response. 

 

Thank you and have a safe 4th of July!
