Redmond Fire recently participated in the Future Women in EMS and Fire event hosted by Seattle Fire. This full weekend event allows participants to experience what it’s like to be a firefighter from bunking up and throwing ladders, flowing water and running chainsaws to classroom sessions where we discuss everything from ‘a day in the life’ to how to prepare and answer any questions they may have. We are proud to say this was the biggest event yet with over 40 participants and 180 applicants. This amazing event happens every 6 months, consider signing up if you want to learn about the best job there is!

🔥 Redmond Fire on the Front Lines of the Cram Fire 🔥

This summer, Redmond Firefighter Nick has been serving beyond city limits as part of Northwest Team 10 on the Cram Fire—a massive wildland fire near Madras, Oregon that has burned 95,736 acres and engaged over 530 personnel.

As a Communications Technician (COMT), Nick plays a vital role in setting up and maintaining the complex communication systems that keep crews connected and safe on large-scale incidents. These systems are the lifeline for firefighters working in rugged terrain and challenging conditions.

We’re proud of Nick’s expertise and dedication, and of Redmond’s continued commitment to supporting our regional and national wildland firefighting efforts.

📸 Check out a few snapshots from the field, showcasing the behind-the-scenes work that makes a major incident run smoothly.

🚒💦 Redmond Little League All-Stars… You’ve Been Soaked! 💦⚾️

On a hot summer afternoon, our Redmond Firefighters stepped up to the plate—but this time, with a deck gun instead of a bat! 🌞💪
