How do I request a fire safety presentation for my group/school? How do I schedule a fire station visit?
We offer fire and life safety public education presentations for schools and community groups, and try to participate in local public events as we have available staff. We also offer fire station visits on a limited basis.
Please fill out our Camano Fire: Public Education/Speaking Request form online to make your request. If you can’t access or fill out the form, please call our Administrative Office at 360-387-1512.
How can I submit a records request?
You can submit a request for records online using our NextRequest portal: https://camanofire.nextrequest.com/
When should I call 911?
If you or someone else needs help and you’re not sure how serious it is, you should always call 911.
The 911 dispatch center has multiple people to answer calls. They send help to the most critical calls first. If you call 911, you won’t prevent someone else from getting help with an emergency.
Calling the Camano Fire administrative office could delay help getting to you. Only 911 can dispatch firefighters and paramedics to your location. If you call our administrative office, we still have to call 911 to have a fire engine or ambulance respond to you.
Donations to CIFR
The nonprofit Medic One Foundation recently announced the establishment of a dedicated Camano Island Fire & Rescue Fund. Donations are tax-deductible and will directly support the lifesaving work of Camano Island’s firefighter/EMTs and paramedics
You can also call our administrative office at 360-387-1512 to learn more about what kind of donations we are able to accept. You may also email info@camanofire.com
CPR or First Aid classes?
As staffing allows, we offer a 3-hour CPR and AED training class on the second Wednesday of every month at the Madrona/Vista Station – 273 North West Camano Drive. The class costs $25 per person and is limited to 10 students.
The American Red Cross also offers first aid and CPR classes. Click to look for classes near you.
Fire extinguishers?
We have two YouTube videos that explain what kind of extinguisher you need, where you should put your extinguishers, and what to do if your extinguisher needs to be replaced or recharged.
