The Allin Township Fire Department maintains a constant state of readiness to meet all threats and challenges, traditional and new.

The Stanford Fire Department was formed in 1907 following a major downtown fire that destroyed several buildings downtown. Over the course of the next century and many transformations, the Allin Township Fire Department now boasts a professional team of volunteer fire fighters, a fleet of six emergency vehicles, and expanded emergency medical care. Though we spend a great deal of time going on calls and training, we are also committed to being active in the community. Our personnel are involved in fire prevention activities, community events, and fundraisers. The members of this team are proud to represent the Allin Township Fire Department mission through dedication and integrity. Current Roster:

Training last night focused on Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT) and firefighter removal. Members reviewed RIT operations and worked through several scenarios involving locating and removing a downed firefighter, including providing emergency breathing air in a hazardous environment.

We also practiced using a ladder as a high point to facilitate the removal of a downed firefighter through a window.

These skills are critical when a firefighter becomes trapped or incapacitated on the fireground. Continued hands-on training helps ensure our crews are prepared to respond quickly and effectively when one of our own needs help.

When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray
table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never
charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails,
it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly. For more

Last night, we welcomed the Olympia Pacers Cloverbuds to the fire station for a tour and some fire safety education!

The kids got to learn more about what we do, explore the station, and learn some important tips to help keep themselves and their families safe. We always enjoy opportunities to connect with our community and help educate the next generation about fire safety!

A big thank you to the Olympia Pacers Cloverbuds for stopping by! We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools
outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These
batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they
fail. For more info: fpw.org.

10/08/2026

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in
longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery. For
more info: fpw.org.

10/07/2026

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is
warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or
color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away
from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can
overheat and start a fire. For more info: fpw.org.

10/06/2026

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds,
couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can
cause a battery to overheat. For more info: fpw.org.

We continued to build on our recent training last night by reviewing and practicing VEIS (Vent, Enter, Isolate, Search).

Crews worked through the fundamentals of VEIS operations, focusing on proper coordination, communication, entry and isolation, and conducting targeted searches in a controlled environment. This training builds upon the victim search, forcible entry, and ladder skills practiced during previous sessions.

Our training will continue to build and integrate these skills to help ensure our crews are prepared to operate effectively and safely during interior fire conditions.
