BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS
Stop by the fire station and a firefighter will be glad to check your blood pressure for free at 7812 Waterworks Road, Tulalip, WA 98271. If no one answers the door please call the station or stop by at another time. Firefighters are on duty and they may be on an emergency call.
High blood pressure usually has no symptoms. In fact, many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it. That's why it's called the "silent killer." Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. It doesn't refer to being tense, nervous or hyperactive. You can be a calm, relaxed person and still have high blood pressure.
A single elevated blood pressure reading doesn't mean you have high blood pressure, but it's a sign that further observation is required. Your doctor or other qualified health professional should check your blood pressure at least once every two years, or more often if necessary. Optimal blood pressure with respect to cardiovascular risk is less than 120/80 mm Hg. However, unusually low readings should be evaluated to rule out medical causes.
HIGH VISIBILITY SIGNAGE AND KNOX BOXES
When we’re responding to an emergency, every second counts. Locating emergency scenes is crucial to our mission of serving our community. Help us make our responses more efficient by requesting a High Visibility Address Sign to your home.
The signs are ordered and constructed at cost. Then Tulalip Bay Fire Department employees will install them outside of your home for free. The total price you pay is $15.00. If you would also like a steel post for your sign to be mounted on, an additional $15.00 is required. Please come by the station to order and pay for your sign during business hours of 9am-5pm.
Knox Box
Knox Box products are available for business and residential customers in our district, which allows first responders to enter the home or business quickly, makes re-securing property easier and faster, and reduces forced entry property damage.
