COMMUNITY

OFFERINGS

Tulalip Bay Fire Department is committed to being a good neighbor. Throughout the year, we host and participate in a number of community events, including our beloved annual Santa Run. Outside of those events, we have several other programs to engage with the community—from station tours to our ride-along program to hosting birthday parties for local youth—we love getting to know our neighbors better. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the station if you would like firefighters to attend your upcoming event, and we will do our best to accommodate requests and ideas.

JOIN IN on THE FUN.

  • Station Tours

    Firefighters are always excited to have visitors at the station. We will gladly tour you around the station, showing you where we eat, sleep and work, including a tour of the fire engine and ambulance. In addition, a safety talk can be provided during the tour. Station tours are by appointment, and we require having at least two weeks notice of your group visiting. Please note, there is always the possibility that firefighters may receive an emergency call and will have to conclude the station tour early. If this happens, we will be happy to reschedule. To schedule a station visit, please call the station 360-659-2416.

  • Ride-Along Program

    The Ride-Along program allows residents to accompany firefighters during duty. This public education program gives residents a better understanding of fire operations. The program serves as a mechanism for community members to personally observe operations and enhance transparency between fire and members of the community. If you’re interested in a ride-along, please complete the online application and training below.
