Here’s a video of our water rescue team assisting with a rescue in Puyallup earlier this evening.

Please remember:
- Turn around, don’t drown. Never drive through flooded roads.
- Stay out of floodwaters. They can hide debris, other hazards, and have strong currents.
- Keep your phone charged & enable emergency alerts.
- Follow local jurisdictions for updates.

Our members have been working around the clock to keep our community safe as high waters continue to impact the Puyallup and Carbon Rivers. Please follow evacuation guidance, avoid flooded areas, and never drive through standing water. We are here when you need us. Stay safe!

Just before 3:00 pm, crews responded to an aircraft emergency just outside Thun Field. Upon arrival, crews found a small aircraft crashed in the brush. The two occupants onboard were transported with minor injuries.

The airplane had just received maintenance and was undergoing a test flight. The airplane lost power shortly after takeoff. The pilots attempted to return to the runway, but crashed just before reaching airport property.

Give yourself extra time this morning. Side streets are covered in ice, and fresh snow is hiding the slick spots. Drive safe and take it slow!

We are currently battling a fire at Recycling Resources. This event is generating a significant amount of smoke. Avoid exposure to the smoke by rolling up your windows as you pass and turning off your vehicle’s A/C. If you are in the vicinity, try to stay indoors.

We responded to a medical aid call at Boeing Frederickson today, but due to Boeing locking out their firefighter/EMTs on May 4th, our response took 18 minutes. We hope for a positive outcome for the patient. Bring back your FFs and put safety over profits. @IAFFofficial

We are out here at the @Boeing Frederickson facility where @IAFFofficial firefighters have just been locked out. Boeings “roBUST” contingency plan consists of our members handling all fire and medical aid calls. @7thdistrictIAFF @komonews @KING5Seattle @KIRO7Seattle @fox13seattle
