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! 🧑🚒 💦 💵
A few good tips from this security camera footage of a home on fire:
1 Smoke detectors save lives. Have them. Use them. Power them.
2 If you need to go, go. Fires double in size every minute.
3 Have a plan if your usual way out is blocked by fire or smoke.
And of course, call 911 at the earliest signs of smoke in the home.

4/12/25 10:30am - Update - Clallam County Fire District 3 is sending a hand crew to the beach to attack a 20x20’ fire about a mile down the spit. Recreation is minimally impacted at this time.
There is a developing incident at the Dungeness Spit near Sequim with reports of driftwood on fire and high winds. Could be wise to avoid that parking lot this morning. Please give crews plenty of room to work.

Early morning structure fire. The station was completely empty for some time as crews continued to respond to multiple calls throughout District 3.
