Mountain View Fire and Rescue

We were honored to join Black Diamond Elementary School in celebrating the 5th grade D.A.R.E. graduates. Congratulations to all the students, and thank you to Officer Hershaw for leading this important program! 🎓👏

In the early morning hours of May 29, 2026, crews responded to a vehicle fire at the 32000 block of Kent Black Diamond Rd SE in Auburn. Due to the vehicle's close proximity to both a propane tank and gas station tanks, the incident had the potential to become much more serious.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and prevented it from spreading to nearby hazards. Fortunately, no injuries were reported to us.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the King County Sheriff's Office - Fire Investigation Unit.

Prevent Falls—Stay Safe & Steady

While it’s not Fall, or Fall Prevention Week, we think it’s always a good time to share reminders about the importance of preparing your home & habits to prevent falls. Did you know that 1 in 4 adults age 65+ falls each year? Falls are a leading cause of injury & hospitalization, but many are preventable.

🚶🏾‍♂️ Keep walkways clear & well-lit
🚶🏾‍♂️ Wear supportive, non-slip shoes
🚶🏾‍♂️ Stay active to improve strength & balance
🚶🏾‍♂️ Get vision & medication checks regularly
