On Thursday, B-Shift crews (L51, A50, and BN51) participated in the

Operation Dynamo II drill at the Naval Hospital in Bremerton. This was a

great opportunity to work with our surrounding agencies and Naval

Hospital Staff members. Crews practiced rescuing victims off the roof.

Residential fires restriction lifted

Posted September 7, 2018

Kitsap County Fire Marshal, David Lynam

(Port Orchard, WA) – The Kitsap County Fire Marshall has lifted the prohibition on

recreational fires in Kitsap County. Recreational fires in approved locations and in

appliances can resume immediately.

"Cooler weather, shorter days and a more fall-like weather forecasts allows us to lift the

recreational fire ban," said David Lynam, County Fire Marshall. "Fire danger is still

precarious, and caution is still the name of the game," Lyman added.

A Phase 1 burn ban remains in effect. Officials expect it will remain in effect until rain

arrives in the fall.

REMINDER: General back yard burning as well as land clearing is prohibited and all burning permits

will be suspended for the immediate future until the ban is lifted. Recreational fires must be 3 feet or less

in size, in a designated fire pit using only charcoal or dry firewood (no milled lumber). Fires must be

constantly attended until fully extinguished and at least one piece of fire-extinguishing equipment must

be on-site and available for immediate use while burning.

Most people know that eating fruits and vegetables is important for good health,

but most of us still aren’t getting enough. This September is Fruits & Veggies –

More Matters Month and a great reminder to eat your fruits and veggies!

Eating a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits can help you:

Lower your risk for heart disease and some types of cancer

Maintain or reach a healthy weight

Keep your body strong and active

Here are some ideas to help you and your family fit more fruits and vegetables into

your day:

Keep a bowl of fruit handy where the whole family can see it.

Cut up fruits and veggies ahead of time so they’re ready for quick,

healthy snacks.

Challenge your family to try a new veggie or fruit every week.

Remember, eating more fruits and veggies can be fun — and it’s worth it!

During the early morning on Tuesday, September 4, Station 45 crews

responded to fire in Bremerton along with crews from Bremerton Fire

Department. E45 was able to locate the family pet, Sushi, who was returned

safe and unharmed to his owners.

Kudos to this great rescue and the crews involved!

This week, the chassis began the paint process

and the pump house and the body were in

staging. Next week, the chassis may finish with

paint and the pump house should remain in

staging. The body should begin to receive trim

and wiring harnesses.
