We are here with the combat challenge and other fun activities! Come by and see us! 🚒🤗
It’s National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and we want to recognize the unsung heroes of public safety! We can’t express how thankful we are to the men and women who are on the other side of the phone when you dial 9-1-1. It takes a special person to fulfill this undeniably challenging role. Thank you, @officialsouthsound911 dispatchers, for always being there for our community.
As our community grows, so do our needs for emergency services. 🚒🚑
Funding from Proposition 1: the Regular Fire Levy is critical to helping us keep pace with community growth, increased emergency calls, and the impacts of inflation.

The fire service is often described as one big family, but at many departments, firefighting is in fact a family tradition. Happy National Siblings Day to a few of our CPFR siblings: the Stueve brothers, the Berdan brothers, the Thompson siblings, the Cable brothers, the Benning brothers, and the Kamke brothers! ❤️
Thank you to our wonderful community for attending our Station 72 Open House this past Sunday! It was incredibly heartwarming to have so many individuals and families take the time to learn about our fire department. We are grateful to serve such a supportive and engaged community, and we hope you had as much fun as we did!
Community members had the chance to engage in various activities such as learning about crime prevention and fingerprinting, hands-on CPR training, taking tours of our apparatus and station, tackling the combat challenge, trying their hand at spraying a fire hose, and enjoying delicious food and drinks.
A big thank you to our partners from across Pierce County for their contributions to making this memorable day possible! ❤

Wondering how the regular fire levy lid lift would impact you?
If supported, the Regular Fire Levy will be restored to $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. This would cost the average Pierce County homeowner an additional $11.74 per month (based on a home with an assessed value of $521,649). Below are additional examples of approximate costs based on a range of home values.
If rejected, CPFR will face a projected revenue shortfall of $12.5 million. This could potentially lead to a reassessment of service levels, facilities, and staffing.

We had a wonderful time at the Daffodil Parade! It was such a pleasure spending the day alongside our 5th grade Great Escape winners and their families celebrating fire safety. The Great Escape winners decorated both the DFM’s truck and our parade float with flowers before proceeding downtown to the Puyallup parade route.
A big thank you to @knutsonfarmsinc for supplying us with beautiful flowers and to The Daffodil Festival for organizing this valued community event. We are grateful to the school districts, @puyallupschooldistrict , @franklinpierceschools, Bethel School District, @ortingschooldistrict & @cascadechristianschools who welcome our public educators into their 5th grade classrooms to teach The Great Escape year after year. You can see the winning projects of these students on display in the Expo Hall for entirety of the @wastatefair Spring Fair!
RETIREMENT - Today, we celebrate the last shift of a member who dedicated 32 years of his life to the fire service. Lieutenant (Lt.) Brian Estes started as a volunteer firefighter in 1992 and was hired as a career firefighter with Central Pierce Fire & Rescue in 1997. Over the years, he devoted a significant portion of his time to educating and sharing his experiences with new generations of firefighters. For 14 years, he served as a lead instructor at Bates Fire College and devoted another 14 years to originating, designing, and managing dual articulation high school to college fire service programs. Lt. Estes also dedicated 15 years to the Pierce County Tech Rescue team, along with 14 years invested in the UASI team, where he underwent multiple deployments around the region. Notably, he also served as part of the WA TF-1 FEMA Team, which included a 17-day deployment to the OSO mudslide. These deployments are a testament to his unwavering commitment to the citizens of our community and beyond.
Although Lt. Estes is hanging up his helmet for the last time, you can expect to see him active in the community as he is serving as a newly elected Fire Commissioner for Graham Fire & Rescue. When asked for some final thoughts, Lieutenant Estes said “I have been humbled to have this career, working with so many special, dedicated, talented, and amazing people whose lessons I will cherish forever.” A quote that has stuck with him through the years is “pick a job or career you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Thank you for your many years of service to the citizens of Central Pierce Fire & Rescue. We wish you all the best in your retirement!
From fires to medical emergencies, your CPFR firefighters and paramedics are always ready to respond to the next emergency. 🚒🚑
Last Saturday, we hosted approximately 100 scouts and their families for our 2024 Scout Day! They had the opportunity to learn from professionals about fingerprinting, crime prevention, emergency preparedness, hands-only CPR, and aquatic safety. The scouts also got to tour the fire station, get up close and personal with a fire engine, and observe a special demonstration from K9 Ice! It was such a fantastic afternoon spent with our scouts and partners across Pierce County. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this special day happen!

A special shoutout to @boyscoutsofamerica & @girlscoutsww for their invaluable contributions to youth development!
Central Pierce Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched to a house fire that could have resulted in major loss earlier today. Fortunately, working smoke alarms notified the occupant of smoke coming from the hot water tank. They evacuated the home and called 9-1-1, which resulted in a quick response and mitigation of the incident.
This is an important reminder of why it’s crucial to test your smoke alarms and practice your home fire escape plan. Take a moment today to ensure your smoke alarms are working properly. It could make all the difference in an emergency. 🔥🚒

Just before 9:45 am, Central Pierce Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched to a commercial structure fire in the 800 block of E Main in Downtown Puyallup. Thanks to a quick response, the fire was under control within 15 minutes. All occupants were able to evacuate the structure safely. One firefighter suffered a minor ankle injury.
Thank you to East Pierce Fire & Rescue and Graham Fire & Rescue for providing mutual aid on this incident. The cause is under investigation by CPFR Deputy Fire Marshals.
Don’t let your beeping smoke alarm fool you.
Understanding the different types of beeps can help you discern between routine maintenance reminders and urgent alerts.
🚨Rapid Beeping: A rapid, continuous set of three loud beeps, beep-beep-beep- means smoke or fire is present. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
🚨Low Battery Alert: A single "chirp" every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed.
🚨Replacement Needed: Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the unit must be replaced, the smoke alarm is at its end of life.
Learn the sounds of your smoke alarms by checking the manufacturer`s instructions, and remember all smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.
From all of us at Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, we wish you and your loved ones a safe and hoppin` Easter! 🚒🐰
