Vashon Island Fire & Rescue

🎓 Congratulations to the Vashon High School Class of 2026!

A special congratulations to our graduating VIFR Fire Cadets as they reach this exciting milestone.

The hours of training, dedication, service, and drive you’ve shown through the Explorers program have not only prepared you for what comes next but have inspired future cadets along the way.

Thank you for being part of the VIFR family. We are proud of you and cannot wait to see where your next chapter takes you.

Congratulations, graduates! 💙🚒

The weather is heating up on Vashon, and that means grilling season is here.

As you enjoy the sunshine, BBQs, and time outside, remember: wildland fire safety matters. Keep grills away from play areas, dry grass, and anything that can catch fire.

In other words… be like Bill. 🔥🍔

A little space now can prevent a big problem later.

We hope to see you at the Vashon Senior Center Memorial Day Block Party! After services at 11am on May 25 at the Vashon Cemetery, we will have the engine out back at the station for community members to come say hi and ask any questions between fun lawn games at Vashon Island Heritage Museum and food and music at the Senior Center!

On Wednesday evening, VIFR crews responded to a residential structure fire with mutual aid support from King County Fire District #2.

Crews worked quickly to contain the fire and prevent further spread.

Incidents like this are an important reminder of why training and mutual aid partnerships matter. Departments across our zone regularly train together so when additional resources are needed, crews can work safely and seamlessly alongside one another.

We are grateful for the support of our neighboring agencies and thankful to the community for giving responders space to work while crews were on scene.
