Thank you for your patience and for keeping safety in mind while crews worked!

DON’T BE ALARMED — THIS IS ONLY A TEST!

At 10:16 AM on October 16th, tsunami warning sirens across Washington’s coast — including parts of the South Puget Sound region — will sound the actual warning wail as part of the Great Washington ShakeOut statewide earthquake and tsunami preparedness drill.

•This is only a test!
•Take this opportunity to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On!”
•Review your family’s emergency plan, evacuation routes, and go-kits.

Preparedness saves lives — let’s stay ready, South Bay! 🌊🔥

🔥 Welcome Aboard Wednesday! 🔥

Please join us in giving a warm South Bay welcome to Firefighter EMT Jonathon Riggsby!

Jon grew up in the East Pierce County area and now lives in beautiful Greenwater with his wife Abbie, their daughter Piper, their golden retriever Brady, and two cats, Rocky and Hopper.

With 10 years of experience in the fire service—including time with Buckley, Greenwater, and Boeing—Jon brings a strong background, a passion for helping others, and a great team spirit to SBFD.

When he's off-duty, you’ll likely find Jon and his family out exploring the outdoors—whether it’s hiking, skiing, or just enjoying the beauty of the PNW.

What drew him to South Bay Fire? The professionalism, the family-centered atmosphere, and the strong community involvement. We love that he’s already excited about all the great things happening here!

🎯 Fun Fact: Jon can solve a Rubik’s Cube without cheating… and yes, we’ll definitely be putting that to the test soon—so keep an eye out for the video! 🎥😉

Welcome to the SBFD family, Jon!

🔥 Welcome Aboard Wednesday! 🔥

Say hello to Paul Barrow, one of the five new lateral hires bringing their experience and energy to the South Bay Fire Department!

Paul’s fire service journey started a little later in life—and totally by accident—but once he found his passion, there was no turning back. From volunteering in 2012 to working part-time and eventually going full career, Paul has done it all.

When he’s not at the station, you’ll probably find him hanging out with his two dogs or under the hood of a classic car.

Originally from Hampshire, UK, Paul now enjoys the peace and quiet of his own little oasis at home with his wife Sara and their furry companions.

He’s excited to serve the South Bay community, work alongside a top-notch crew, and make the most of the great equipment and opportunities here at SBFD.

Welcome to the team, Paul! We’re glad to have you aboard!
