Petition for Adjustment of Fire Benefit Charges Due Today
2025-01-31 08:00 - 17:00 | Virtual/Online, United States
Deadline to file a Petition for Adjustment of Fire Benefit Charges is January 31, 2025

Effective January 1, 2025 the City of Tukwila fully annexed our Fire Department into the Puget Sound Fire service area. This month, property owners received a notice from Puget Sound Fire regarding the Fire Benefit Charge, which is part of a two-part funding system that helps ensure growing communities maintain high quality fire and life safety services. The fee is included in your property tax payable to King County.
As part of the Fire Benefit Charge legislation, property owners are afforded the opportunity to file a Petition for Adjustment of Fire Benefit Charges (FBC) each year. Adjustments could include having a fire suppression system or other factors that might lower your fire risk and thus may possibly reduce what you pay for the Fire Benefit Charge. Information on the charge and how to file a petition for adjustments can be found on the Puget Sound Fire website.
Petitions for adjustments must be filed no later than 4:30 P.M. January 31, 2025.

Free Community Emergency Response Team Training - Registration is open
2025-02-17 08:00 - 17:00 | Puget Sound Fire Station 73, 26512 Military Rd S, Kent, WA, United States
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.
The CERT Basic Training is free but registration is required as class sizes are limited.
