Bellevue is the fifth largest city in Washington and one of the fastest growing, with a fire department that has grown to meet the expanding needs of our community. We respond to approximately 20,000 incidents each year, 75% of them medical in nature.
The department maintains one of the highest cardiac arrest survival rates in world. One of a select few firefighting agencies with a Class 2 rating from the Washington State Survey and Rating Bureau, Bellevue Fire ranks in the top 1% of the 46,699 departments in the U.S., and is one of the top three in the state.
Wildfire Preparedness
Wildfire season is just around the corner. And while we often think of wildfire as a rural threat, many of our urban neighborhoods, especially those near parks, greenbelts and open spaces, can be at serious risk. Join us at one, or both, of our upcoming wildland preparedness presentations to learn how you can protect your home and neighborhood from urban wildfires.
