Fire District 3 members spotted in the wild (with a cameo from District2) participating in the North Olympic Discovery Marathon as First Aid runners and bicycle responders. What a day for a run! 😎☀️🏃♂️

You guys were incredible out there today!! Thank you so much!
Y'all rock thanks for being out there!
Way to go.
Human caused brush fires continue across the greater Sequim area.
Copy/paste from our last post:
PSA: There have been a handful of brush fires in the Sequim area this past week. Spoiler alert: it's drier out than it looks. Summer is here. Don't be that guy that lights your neighbor's fence on fire (or worse.)
While we do appreciate the opportunity to practice our fire suppression techniques, we don't want anyone to lose property or get hurt.
Sparks and embers can travel farther than expected, and it doesn't take much to ignite dry weeds, grass, or brush. Vegetation may look green on top, but can be pretty dry underneath from past years build up of dead material.
Always immediately call 911 to report fires and other emergencies to get resources rolling your way sooner than later.

AI video for attention. And it worked! Stay safe out there.
If he has CAFS it be out already 😬😂😂
That’s a lot of water & pressure coming out of a hose pipe!
Happen to hear a lot of sirens lately in the Sequim area?
Crews have displayed extraordinary problem solving and multi-tasking during another busy first 12 hours of their 48 hour shift.
Earlier today the Clallam County Fire District 3 team faced a working structure fire, simultaneous multiple-vehicle motor vehicle collision, and report of chest pain - all in different parts of our 142 square mile response area at the same time.
And that was just the beginning.

That’s a lot of calls
Thank You - you ALL rock!
This place gives me nightmares
It’s been an active and challenging day so far, with crews responding to 25 calls in the first 10 hours of their 48 hour shift. For reference, 25 calls is FD3’s typical 24 hour average.
Notably, crews responded to a trailer fire in the woods while also tackling multiple simultaneous EMS calls, straining resources and maxing out the number of available units.
Despite the challenges, the Clallam County Fire District 3 team found time to do a little bit of detailing work to Engine 34, and got in a few minutes of training.

Update: 12 calls overnight with 6 after midnight.
So what I’m hearing is the dept is very understaffed, under paid, is at a very dangerous high risk of a work related accident due to fatigue and over stress?
Have you ever thought about doing a car wash fundraiser? I’ve got a dirty car that could use some detailing! 🧑🚒 💦 💵
