KITTEN RESCUE - Today one of our community members was alarmed by the “purr” of their motor, so they stopped by Fire Station 3 for some help investigating. We ran some diagnostic tests and found the problem to be smaller than anticipated, and definitely more adorable.
INDEPENDENCE DAY - Happy 4th from Your Olympia Firefighters. We would like to kindly remind you to be safe out there, and that fireworks are banned within the City. The 4th is one of the deadliest driving days of the year - please be responsible and use caution out on the roads!
