Help us help you!

Clear, easy to read address numbers can make a big difference when duty crews are trying to find you quickly. During a 911 call, especially at night, in bad weather, or on roads with limited visibility, clearly posted address markers help duty crews get to the right location faster.

Your 911 address placard should be placed on the same side of the road as your driveway and positioned so it is easy to see from either direction of travel. It should clearly mark the correct driveway, face the road perpendicular to traffic, and generally be installed about 4 to 10 feet from the edge of the road. The placard should be mounted about 40 inches above the road surface, similar to mailbox height, and kept visible at all times.

If you have more than one driveway, make sure your placard is installed at the driveway listed on your address application. If your driveway location has changed, you may need a new address assignment. Shared driveways should follow the appropriate shared driveway guidance.

Replacement 911 address placards and posts are available through the Clallam County Building Department. To request one, call (360) 417-2318 or visit 223 E. 4th Street in Port Angeles, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Please take a moment to check your address today. Keep it clean, maintained, and easy to read year-round. It may save valuable time when every second counts. Remember, 911 can’t help you if they can’t find you, and you can never have too many address markers.

This Labor Day, Fire District 3 recognizes and honors the hard work, dedication, and service of the men and women who help keep our community moving every day.

Labor Day is a time to celebrate the contributions of workers across our community. From first responders and healthcare professionals to teachers, public works crews, small business owners, tradespeople, service workers, and everyone whose daily efforts strengthen the place we call home.

As many residents enjoy the long weekend with family, friends, travel, barbecues, and outdoor activities, FD3 remains ready to respond.

From everyone at FD3, have a safe and happy Labor Day!

WOULD YOU CALL 911?

A family member suddenly can't smile evenly. One arm feels weak, and their words don't make sense. Would you call 911?

Yes! Absolutely!

These are classic warning signs of a possible stroke, and every minute matters.

Now imagine someone has had mild back pain for several months that hasn't suddenly changed.
While that person should absolutely seek medical care, it may not require an emergency ambulance response. Seeing a primary care doctor or going to the walk-in clinic will get this patient the care they need, and often much faster.

Knowing the difference between emergent and non-emergent medical conditions helps ensure emergency crews are available for life-threatening situations while everyone receives the care they need.

Remember: Just because you show up to the hospital in an ambulance, this does not ensure you will be seen faster at the hospital. The hospital also triages patients brought in by ambulance and sees the most critical patients first. Non-critical patients may be placed in the waiting room upon arrival, even if arriving via ambulance.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, always call 911.

With all the back-to-school photos filling our feeds this week, our duty crews decided they did not want to be left out!

For the start of their 48-hour shift, our firefighters joined in with their own “First Day of Shift” photos. A few crew members shared a little about themselves, including their home station and apparatus to their favorite training, music, and the last fire they were on.

While our crews may not be heading back to a traditional classroom, every shift brings new opportunities to learn, serve our community, support one another, and be ready when the next emergency call comes in.

Here’s to a safe, productive, and memorable first day of their 48 hour shift for all FD3 crews! 🚒🔥

We’re proud to introduce another member of Fire District 3, Captain Ivan Hueter.

Captain Hueter joined FD3 on September 13th, 2000, as a volunteer. He was later hired on January 22nd, 2014, as a Firefighter/Paramedic. He was promoted to Captain on July 1st, 2023. Captain Hueter is one out of three Captains on B-shift and is also one of the three “Hueter brothers” that work for FD3.

Captain Hueter is responsible for ensuring FD3 has the medical equipment and supplies needed to respond to every 911 call. He ensures each station has adequate backup supplies for the week and orders inventory for the main EMS storage room at the Training and Operations Center. His work ensures our crews have the essential supplies needed to respond to calls. He is a valued and vital member of our team.

Please join us in thanking Captain Ivan Hueter for 26 years of service, leadership, and dedication to the fire service and the community.

(This is a repost from this weekend due to an error on the admin side. Captain Ivan was also an explorer before becoming a volunteer; however, the district does not count explorer time as actual years of service.)

Can We Get Through When Seconds Matter?

When FD3 responds to fire and medical emergencies, access can make all the difference. Unfortunately, crews sometimes cannot safely get fire engines, ambulances, or water tenders down private roads and driveways because they are too narrow, overgrown, or blocked by obstacles. This can delay emergency responses and fire suppression when every second counts.

Please help by asking yourself: “Is my driveway safe and large enough for emergency vehicles and responders to access in case of an emergency?”

To help ensure emergency vehicles can reach your home, please maintain at least 12 feet of clear width and 13.5 feet of clear height along your driveway or private access road. Trim low-hanging branches, clear brush, and keep driveways free of parked vehicles, trailers, trash bins, and other obstructions.

If you have a gate, make sure it can be opened quickly. For secured gates, consider installing a Knox Box with the gate clicker or access code safely secured inside. Learn more at https://www.ccfd3.org/knox-box-information.

Please also make sure your driveway, bridges, and culverts can safely support emergency apparatus. Our largest vehicle weighs up to 64,000 pounds.

Fire engines, ambulances, and water tenders are much larger and heavier than personal vehicles. If we cannot safely access your property, it may delay the help you or your neighbors need.

A clear, maintained driveway can make a critical difference. Please help us help you!
