  • Headquarters (301 2nd Ave. S.) is closed to the public except for supply deliveries; most staff are working remotely. Members of the public can visit our Fireline Blog for information or call the main line (206-386-1400) with questions.  
  • The Fire Prevention Division is staying open for customers because building safety and fire mitigation are essential public services.
