East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue believes in much more than emergency response. We believe that a community is best protected when the citizens themselves are also prepared to serve as the first line of defense. The more quickly intervening action occurs, the more quickly a fire is suppressed and the less damage there is. The more quickly basic first-aid, CPR, or defibrillation is initiated, the greater the odds of survival.
EGHFR offers a variety of resources aimed at informing, educating, and preparing citizens within the community. The goal is to use prevention and citizen empowerment as a means to more effectively fulfill our mission of protecting the community.
East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:

practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
