Spokane County Fire District 2

May is National Wildfire Awareness Month. Fire District 2 has been training in wildfire to sharpen our skills so that we are ready for this wildfire season. In order to both train and mitigate fire danger to our community we will be doing a controlled burn in Fairfield tonight, Wednesday, May 1 at the intersection of Lake and N. 3rd St. in Fairfield.

Good information from our neighbors in Idaho. Town of Fairfield will have a yard waste day coming up for our community that you may want to utilize to help in your fire protection and beautification efforts. If you are going to burn be sure to follow local guidance and rules. Contact District 2 for permits in our area prior to any fires please.

🔥🌱 Get Ready, Idaho! Spring is Here, and so is !

As we welcome the longer days and warmth of spring, let's also welcome a proactive approach to wildfire prevention! 🌞🌲 This first weekend of spring, let's kickstart our efforts to safeguard our communities and beloved landscapes from the threat of wildfires. 💪🏼✨

Here's the plan: Start early by clearing up yards and properties. Remove dry leaves, dead branches, and any flammable debris that might fuel a fire's spread. Let's make sure our homes are fire-smart and defensible! 🏡🔥

Remember, if you're planning to burn yard waste, do it responsibly and in accordance with local regulations. 🔥🍂 Only burn when it's safe, and never during windy conditions or when fire danger is high. Stay with your piles continually and be sure to extinguish them fully with water. Drown, Stir, Repeat. 💦🐻

Together, we can make a difference in preventing wildfires this season! Let's stay vigilant, stay prepared, and stay strong! 💪🏼🔥 Spread the word and let's keep Idaho safe and beautiful! 🌲💚

Let’s spring forward safely! remember to change smoke alarm batteries when you change your clocks, also, check any fire extinguishers in your house to ensure your home is safe and ready for spring. 

Daylight savings time begins this weekend Sunday, March 10th. This is a good time to test your smoke alarms and change replaceable batteries if needed. Check out our collection of social media cards to share with your friends and family: http://nfpa.social/qc5e50QHZVT

As we get closer to the February election we would like to encourage everyone to vote on the Annexation of Fairfield into Fire District 2. In order for this vote to pass both the voters of Fairfield and the voters of SCFD 2 must pass this measure with a simple majority. County residents will continue to pay the same amount of taxes regardless of whether or not, this is passed. However, if passed SCFD 2 will see an approximate $30,000 more through taxes. This will be possible by Fairfield taxpayers seeing a tax shift from the Town Of Fairfield into SCFD 2 Fire and EMS with an increase of only $0.0374/ $1000 Assesed Value. That means if passed the average home in Fairfield would only be paying less than $10 more annually based on 2023. This money would go directly to local Spokane County Fire District 2 (the green area of the map). SCFD 2 would then be able to use the money to benefit our local community as a whole.

Thank you to everyone who attended tonight's meeting regarding annexing the Town of Fairfield into Spokane County Fire District 2. Please plan to vote on this in the Special Election on February 13, 2024. More information is available on our website at https://www.scfd2.org/town-of-fairfield-annexation/
