Riverside Fire & Rescue

Because of our community, Riverside Fire & Rescue delivered $626 and 593 pounds of food to the last week. Thank you to every resident who donated, waved from the driveway, and helped us support local families. We’re proud to serve Puyallup.

Congratulations to Riverside Fire and Rescue’s Phoenix 9 Recruit Class on graduating Friday evening. We are proud of the hard work, discipline, and heart you have shown over the last five months. We are also grateful to the friends and family who supported you and likely did not get to see much of you along the way.

Graduation is a major milestone, and it is also just one step in a lifelong journey of training, learning, and serving. We are excited to see you transition from recruits to probationary firefighters, working through your probie books and continuing to grow shift by shift. Fifteen of these new firefighters will stay with Riverside, and nine will continue their journey with Buckley Fire Department.

A sincere thank you to the instructors who invested their time and energy into these recruits, including instructors from Riverside Fire and Rescue, Buckley Fire, South Pierce Fire and Rescue, and Ruston Fire and Rescue. Your leadership and commitment to the next generation matter.

Welcome to the fire service, Phoenix 9. Keep showing up for each other and for the communities you serve.
