No injuries reported to a commercial fire in Mukilteo. Automatic aid response from neighboring departments included South County Fire, Everett Fire Department and Paine Field Firefighters Local 2597

A quick notification of a fire at an apartment complex, followed by a rapid fire‑suppression knockdown, kept today’s incident from becoming much larger.
We are grateful to report no injuries to firefighters, civilians, or pets.
A big thank you from Mukilteo Fire to Mukilteo Police, Paine Field Fire, Everett Fire, South Snohomish County Fire, and the American Red Cross for the big lift and outstanding teamwork.

At 0800 he completed his last shift as a probationary firefighter. He was given his firefighter helmet shield, a shiny new badge and a Union coin. Congratulations Firefighter David on completing probation. You showed up every day with the same enthusiasm as you interviewed with. You pushed hard at the academy— earning the Brass Tip and Key to the City. Once on shift you learned the routine, how your shift got the job done and made sure to be the most excited person on shift every day. Keep pushing, keep training and keep showing up. This is the job you wanted and you earned it.

Congratulations Firefighter Paramedic Herbert on completing probation and your first full year of your fire service career. Some don’t realize how much goes into completing a “year” of probation. We can all say getting to that finish line is much longer than a year. FF/PM Herbert applied for the job in June 2025. He had to travel to Mukilteo from Detroit to interview and pass CPAT. Once that happened he was given a job offer contingent on passing a background check and medical exam. He relocated his family to Washington State and made a few more trips to Mukilteo for uniform and bunker gear sizing. August 18th was his first day on the job. He came to us with paramedic experience, but everything about the fire service was new. The more he learned the more he found he really liked the fire side of the job. Off to the Snohomish County Fire Academy he went. Sets and reps became the norm. Pulling hose, throwing ladders and all things fire kept him returning each day. He graduated in December and started pulling shifts with his crew “B shift”. He soon learned the ropes and Dr. Campbell gave his blessing for PM Herbert to fly solo as a medic. March brought the FF stairclimb with fund raising and team building. In May he attended the driver/pump operator academy and has been working to obtain his driver sign off since. His probationary book was turned in early. Congratulations FF/PM Herbert. Keep up the good work and enjoy watching a movie with your crew tonight. You earned it!

🚨 Station 24 is BLS for the 20th time this year.

Today, Station 24 is again operating at a BLS level. One of today’s positions also required a mandatory holdover to maintain staffing. We expect a paramedic to be staffed at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, August 17th.

For perspective, Station 24 operated BLS 15 days in all of 2025. We have now reached 20 days in 2026, already exceeding last year’s total by 33%.

When Station 24 is BLS, Station 25 houses Mukilteo’s only ALS unit. If that crew is committed to another call or transport, we rely on our neighboring agencies for additional paramedic resources.

We’ll continue sharing these updates to keep our community informed about staffing and the level of emergency medical service available in Mukilteo.
