- POTENTIAL CHANGE TO TUKWILA FIRE SERVICES
if you have a grease fire in your kitchen, 11 you fall off your
roof, if you are suffering chest pains- Tukwila°s Fire Depart-
ment is there when you need them. Would it be different
if the firefighters delivering these emergency services were
part of the Kent Regional Fire Authonty (RFA;tl'V
Tukwila is studying how fire service is provided in the City.
and considering consolidation with the RFA. Why?
A An RFA can provide the same or better service
to the Tukwila community
• An RFA's service charge is based on property
type and fire risk.
A More resources could be given to other
important Gty priorities and functions.

What "s happened so for
A Tukwila RFA Annexation Steering
Committee comprised of residents,
business representatives, firefighters
and City Councilmembers - is
exploring how a consolidation with
the RFA would work. A Committee
recommendation is expected by the
end of 2015. Should the Committee
and City Council support moving fire
services to the RFA, Tukwila voters
would make the ultimate decision.
