To see the status of our services, see below and note that most of these services are best accessed at our headquarters fire station (26642 Miller Bay Road NE near Kingston) where administrative staff members are generally available to assist Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in-person or via phone at (360)297-3619. Crews at outlying stations in South Kingston, Hansville and Suquamish are also happy to greet you if they’re not away due to emergency calls or other duties.
