About Us

Since 1948, Lacey Fire District 3 has been responding to calls for emergency medical services and fire protection. Today, we service a growing community of 79,450 people within a 70-square-mile area in North Thurston County and the City of Lacey.In an emergency situation, every second counts. That’s why you can depend on us to be here – when and where you need us. We’re here to help when a family member or neighbor is sick or injured, when a house or structure is on fire, or when a car accident snarls traffic and results in injury. 

Our five stations, strategically located throughout our service area, are staffed by professionals and volunteers, dedicated to responding quickly and providing the highest quality of service – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

As our community continues to grow and flourish, Lacey Fire District 3 looks forward to expanding and enhancing its services to best meet the emergency medical needs of our citizens.

Lacey Fire District Three is proud of its sixty-four year history of providing quality fire and emergency services to our citizens.  It’s amazing to realize that we’ve grown from a population of only hundreds to a community of almost ninety thousand residents.  As a fire protection district, we pride ourselves on maintaining healthy relationships with all of our service partners.  We work closely with the City of Lacey, Thurston County, and the other cities and fire districts that share our borders in order to provide the most effective services possible, while always being mindful that we must remain good stewards of the resources our public provides.

I am truly proud to lead such a dedicated group of volunteer and career men and women who are dedicated to serving their community.  Lacey Fire District Three, in partnership with Thurston County Medic One, provides nationally recognized emergency medical services that far exceed national standards of performance.  Additionally, our members participate on various regional teams that provide specialized rescue and incident management services.  All of these areas are over and above our core responsibility of being well trained and highly effective in fire fighting.   Our members are committed to continuously improving themselves and our organization.  We hope you will take an opportunity to call or come by so that we can meet you personally and give you an opportunity to better understand our services and programs.
