For the first time in RFD history, one of our stations was staffed by an all women crew.

A historic first for our department and a moment worth celebrating. Proud to have these firefighters representing Redmond Fire Department and Local 2829!

These 12 recruits began their journey back in April, and after months of a competitive hiring process, these 12 were among approximately 1.7% of applicants selected.

Now they begin seven months of training before hopefully joining the line next spring, followed by a year of probation.

We’re excited to welcome them to Redmond Fire and proud to have them join the best union in the nation. They are joining a brotherhood and sisterhood built on solidarity, service, and a commitment to looking out for one another.

Welcome to the journey and Godspeed.

At approximately 0200 hours, your Redmond firefighters responded to the 27000 block of NE Ames Lake Road in unincorporated King County, within Fire District 34, after callers reported an explosion and a large amount of fire.

E114 arrived to find the residence fully involved with a partial structural collapse and immediately upgraded the incident to a second alarm. Crews initiated a defensive fire attack.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation and crews are still on scene as of 1000 hours. We are proud to serve the City of Redmond and District 34.

Thanks to IAFF Local 1762 and Bellevue (WA) Fire Dept for assistance.

Ladder 116 is consistently training on a variety of low frequency, high risk disciplines. With Redmond being the 10th in the United States for the most new housing units built in the last decade presents new challenges that we are adapting to. With most of these housing units being mid rise and high rise, our tech rescue team is presented with new rescue challenges that didn’t exist in the city even a decade ago. We are proud to serve the City of Redmond and Fire District 34.

If you thought this was the cast of The Pitt, you wouldn’t be the first one.

But these are actually some of our very own Redmond Firefighters, alongside member of Eastside Firefighters, beginning the University of Washington/Harborview Medical Center Medic One Paramedic Training Program.

Over the coming year, they’ll take on an intensive combination of classroom education, clinical training, and hands-on experience as they work toward becoming paramedics.

We’re proud of our members for taking on the challenge and representing Redmond throughout the program.

Good luck white coats, we’ll see you soon!

Ever stretch a garden hose on a fire scene? What happens when an aid unit arrives first on an active fire scene?

Our aid units are staffed with 2 firefighter/EMTs at dedicated stations and a 3 person crew at the ‘cross-staffed’ stations. Being firefighters as well as EMTs, they are able to ‘set the scene’ for the incoming suppression units, evacuate occupants, and upgrade to more resources if needed. Because our aid units only carry a ‘water can’ and an extinguisher, the two firefighters are seen using the resources they have at hand to protect and cool the exposed home until an engine arrives on scene.

Them being EMTs as well as firefighters, they can transport patients to the hospital if needed, assume medical care, and assist with rehab of firefighters on big incidents. Our aid units are an integral part of our response model, just as our engines and ladder trucks are.

Thanks to our neighbors IAFF Local 1762 for the assistance.

We are proud to serve the City of Redmond and King County Fire District 34

A thank you to you and your families will never be enough.
