The lot was purchased in 1990 and was soon due for a land clearing for the fire station that would house 4 pieces of apparatus and accommodate 2 firefighters during the day time with shift work. Finally, in 1992 the station was complete and ready for firefighters to move in. Over 100 community members attended the opening ceremony. The station was 8,000 square feet which included bathrooms, storage rooms, a meeting room, and a 4 door apparatus bay. Shortly after, administration made the decision to renovate the station and added more amenities for 24 hour shift work. In 2000, the remodel was complete and added 3 murphy beds, a kitchen with appliances, a meeting room, office space, and additional restrooms. Today the fire station is staffed with 4 firefighters 24 hours per day 7 days a week. Even though conversations did take place to build a new addition to the station, the station has not seen a renovation since 2000. On March 20, 2009, the station was dedicated to LeRoy Fryberg Sr. who has served the community selflessly for over three decades as a Volunteer Firefighter and a Fire Commissioner.

Our first out aid car is a 2017 Ford E-450. This vehicle is 22'.2" long, 7'.10" wide, 8'.11" tall and weights approximately 15,000 lbs. In 2016 our firefighters transported 445 patients and 486 patients in 2017. That is 12% more than the previous year which is why our aid unit is staffed with 2 firefighter/EMTs 24 hours a day. Aid 60 responded to 853 incidents in 2017 which makes it the busiest unit of our fleet.
When our ambulance was purchased in 2008, its intent was to transport water rescue gear and personnel to the incident; however, as it was beneficial to the community the decision was made to make this piece of apparatus a transport unit. This is a Chevrolet 4500 Road Rescue purchased from a local vehicle dealership in 2008. It is 24.5 feet long, 9.3 feet tall, 8.5 feet wide and it weighs about 17,000lbs. Even though this apparatus has some fire equipment such as self contained breathing apparatus, hand tools, rope, vehicle stabilization equipment, its main function is to provide emergency medical services and transport patients to local hospitals when our primary aid car is out of service.
The Water tanker, as some fire departments call it, joined our fleet in 2007. This apparatus is equipped with a 1,000 gallon per minute pump and a 3,000 gallon tank. In addition to the built in tank, this specific apparatus also carries a 3,000 gallon portable tank that can be deployed in rural areas. Even though you don't see this apparatus on the street as often, this 64,000lbs machine plays a crucial role in areas where water is unavailable. Our tender is mostly used during high heat seasons of the year. This apparatus will respond based on the Captain's discretion.
In the United States, modern fire chiefs' cars tend to be very similar to police patrol vehicles and are equipped with lightbars or hidden lights, sirens and long-range and short-range radios. Many fire departments in the United States use modified SUVs as their chief response vehicle. At Tulalip Bay Fire Department our Chief's response vehicle is 2017 GMC Yukon which is also his day-to-day operations rig. Chief 60 responds to all major calls.
This command vehicle is a new addition to our fleet. It is a 2014 Ford F-150 pick-up truck. This truck was previously utilized by another fire district for Wild-Land operations over at eastern Washington. This vehicle was purchased used; however, in satisfactory condition with only 50,000 miles. Battalion program was implemented in January of 2018 and it is projected battalion 60 will respond to over 50 incidents each year. Also, this apparatus will be utilized for day-to-day business and training events.
