Our new name reflects several years of hard work by many in forming a consolidated fire district prepared to serve the citizens of the Cities of Rainier and Yelm and the surrounding unincorporated areas. We will continue to provide professional, caring emergency services in the most expeditious, efficient manner possible.

As your Fire Chief, I am your advocate, charged with maximizing your resources and creating efficiencies within the department. With the challenges our communities have faced and continue to face with an uncertain economic environment and the potential for regional disasters, I remain more dedicated than ever to this task.

You can be proud of the professional, caring men and women, both career and volunteer, of S.E. Thurston Fire Authority. You can count on us each and everyday to serve you to the best of our abilities.
