COVID19 Highlights

responded to 384 more calls this year than last. EMS -related responses makes up the vast majority of the

Also worth noting: TFD responded to 20 fewer calls outside our jurisdiction in Q3 this year compared to last
year. YTD 2022, we've responded outside our jurisdiction 22 more times than in 2021. Most of those are
Fire -related responses.

Support Services
Support Services: Battalion Chief Josh Kelch provides administrative support as well as supervises the two
captains assigned to the South King County Fire Training Consortium. The focus during Q3 was the transition
to the Puget Sound RFA. The final clearing out from former fire stations 51 and 52 should be complete by
next quarter (end of year).
Training Division: One captain is assigned to the Recruit Training Academy, and the other is working in the
Technical Rescue Division.
Contract for Services: The vast majority of Support Services work has been re -directed to preparation for
the transition to Puget Sound RFA. All facets of our organization are being analyzed for compatibility with
the RFA. An example is the move to purchasing all our uniforms (we currently rent uniforms). This is a large
order to have in place by the end of the year.
Social Media/PIO: Tukwila is one of 6 departments in Zone 3 (South King County) that take part in a PIO
(Public Information Officer) response team. Tukwila's PIO shares in the 24-hour coverage large emergencies
when information is requested or needs to be shared with the public through social media or more
traditional means. Three-day rotations take place for each of the partner agencies.
Goals For The Year
1. Facilitate the transition to the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority by the end of
the year.
2. Complete the foundational work in preparation for annexation into the Puget
Sound Regional Fire Authority in the next two years.
3. Merge the Fire Marshal's Office with the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority
Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division.
4. Continued Training and required certifications for personnel, Blue Card Command,
State mandated and approved disciplines.
5. Update and approve the Fee Schedule for our Fire Marshal permitting services.
6. To remain within the 2022 adopted budget
