Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue

EMS Levy-

Voters within Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue will see a proposition on the August 4th, 2026 ballot for the establishment of an EMS Levy. This measure would generate funding for the fire district’s EMS services. Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue provides both Advanced Life Support (paramedic) and Basic Life Support (EMT) treatment and transport to the community.

The EMS Levy will establish a initial rate of $0.50/1,000 of assessed property value for a period of 10 years. Washington State law requires any funding from a EMS Levy to go only towards the provision of medical services.

Emergency medical services are a critical part of how we serve our community every day. This measure will allow the fire district to increase service levels to meet the growing demand by hiring additional, full-time firefighter/EMTs or firefighter/paramedics.
It will also allow the fire district to establish a program where fire district residents would not receive a bill from the fire district if transported by one of our ambulances.

Our firefighters and EMS personnel respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to a wide range of emergencies, with the majority involving emergency medical care. EMS Levy funding will support the personnel, training, and equipment needed to respond effectively and provide care when it is needed.

This week is National Volunteer Week. Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue would like to recognize the long tradition of volunteerism (it’s a real word, I checked) here at the fire district. In 1944 a group of women had volunteered their time to help fight fires in Gales Addition. They had started what eventually became Clallam County Fire District 2 with the official formation of the fire district on January 1, 1945. The fire district has continued to rely on volunteer members for the last 80+ years.

Today, Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue is a combination fire agency, using full-time, part-time, and volunteer firefighters, EMTs and Paramedics. On this week we want to acknowledge the service of our volunteer members who have long been the backbone to our service delivery and continue serving their community today.

Thank you to the volunteer members of Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue, your service is much appreciated.
