Olympia Fire Department A Trusted Leader of a Safe and Thriving Capitol City

Olympia, WALocal News

The Olympia Fire Department, under Fire Chief Matthew Morris, demonstrates its commitment to community service and safety in Olympia, Washington. In 2023, the department responded to 16,228 service calls and conducted over 2,400 business fire inspections, emphasizing exceptional service delivery. The introduction of two basic life support (BLS) Transport Aid units enhances emergency response capabilities, improving patient care and reducing reliance on fire engines for non-critical calls. Additionally, the CARES program, launched in 2024, provides non-emergency support for residents facing medical, housing, and mental health challenges, alleviating pressure on emergency services. Chief Morris stresses the importance of community involvement in shaping the department’s future through strategic planning.

Residents are encouraged to engage with the department’s initiatives via social media and local outreach programs. With a legacy dating back to 1859, the Olympia Fire Department continues to evolve, ensuring it meets the needs of its diverse community while maintaining excellence in service.
