Make a Difference in Your Community!
You can make a difference in our community by using the CERT training we offer to save lives and protect property.
On a normal day, emergency services personnel are the best trained and equipped to handle emergencies, and we all count on them for their expertise. However, following a catastrophic disaster, emergency response personnel may not be able to help everyone immediately, because of the size of the area affected, loss of communications, and impassable roads.
The Puget Sound Fire CERT program serves the areas of Covington, Kent, Maple Valley, SeaTac/Burien, Tukwila, Fire District #37, and Fire District #43.
CERT Basic Training
Puget Sound Fire invites those who live or work in Covington, Kent, SeaTac/Burien, Maple Valley, Tukwila, Fire District #37 and Fire District #43 to attend our next session of CERT Basic Training. The CERT curriculum includes:

Disaster Preparedness
CERT Organization
Disaster Medical Operations – Part 1
Disaster Medical Operations – Part 2
Disaster Psychology
Fire Safety and Utility Controls
Light Search and Rescue Operations
Terrorism and CERT
Course Review and Disaster Simulation

Students will complete an in-person skills check to practice skills such as fire suppression, basic medical aid, and light search and rescue. If you miss a class, you will need to work with your instructor to make it up.
About CERT
The  CERT concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. CERT became a national program in 1993. There are now CERT programs in all 50 states, including many tribal nations and U.S. territories. Each is unique to its community. The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization.
Upcoming Spring 2025 Session
Registration for the Spring 2025 CERT Basic Training session that begin on March 19 will open on Monday February 17. Classes are available afternoons (1:00-4:30pm) or evenings (6:00-9:30pm), and will be held at two locations: Station 73 on the West Hill and Station 74 on the East Hill.
