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 triages calls, and sends 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 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.

CPR or First Aid classes?

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.
