Today is National First Responders Day!

Every day, the men and women of Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One show up ready to serve, whether it's responding to an emergency, helping someone through a difficult moment, or finding ways to make our community safer.

Today, we want to recognize our incredible crews and the many first responders we have the privilege of working alongside. From firefighters and medics to law enforcement and dispatchers, it takes a lot of dedicated people working together to serve our communities.

To all first responders, thank you for everything you do, today and every day!

When traffic doesn’t move for lights and sirens, sometimes we can’t help but dream about other options...

If only it were this easy. 😂

Until then, please remember to pull to the right for sirens and lights!

Station 51 is taking shape!

From demolition to a two-story building in just a matter of months!

It's been a while since we've shared an update on the Station 51 replacement project, and WOW, has a lot changed since February!

What started as a cleared construction site has quickly transformed as crews have poured foundations and concrete floors, installed structural supports, and framed both levels of the new station.

One of the biggest milestones came on August 19, when a crane lifted two massive steel trusses into place over the main apparatus bay. That was a major step in bringing the building's structure together and giving us a glimpse of just how much space the new station will have!

Since then, crews have continued making progress on the second-story framing, roof construction, and surrounding site improvements. The focus now is getting the building weather-tight before the winter weather rolls in.

There's still plenty of work ahead, but seeing Station 51 go from demolition to where it stands today is pretty exciting!

Take a look at just how far Station 51 has come since February!

Emergencies don't come with a heads-up. Being prepared can make all the difference!

We're teaming up with Pierce County Department of Emergency Management to bring FREE Neighborhood Emergency Team (PC-NET) training to Gig Harbor, and there's still time to register!

Over three days, participants will learn practical skills in disaster preparedness, first aid, fire safety, and how neighbors can work together when an emergency happens.

You don't need to be an emergency response expert; you just need an interest in being better prepared and helping your community!

Leadership is a skill that takes training, practice, and continued development.

Our officers recently spent time focused on communication, decision-making, and hands-on training to strengthen the skills they use both at the station and on emergency scenes.

Deputy Chief Langlow started the day with a discussion about daily operations, upcoming changes, and issues affecting our crews. Lieutenant Jorgenson then led an interactive session focused on commercial structure fire response, using current fire service research and resources to work through complex incidents and decision-making.

The day wrapped up in our new Training Tower, where Lieutenant Haas introduced a new drill package designed for officers to take back and use with their crews.

From conversations in the classroom to hands-on drills in the tower, continued training helps give our officers the knowledge, resources, and experience they need to lead our crews with confidence.
