The District’s service area lies to the west of Gig Harbor and is made up of 65 square miles. The Key Peninsula is approximately sixteen (16) miles long, and at its narrowest point is just two (2) miles wide. There are more than seventy (70) miles of shoreline that is included in the District’s service area. The service area has a very rich maritime history and influence. Recreational opportunities abound. The District’s service area is a mix of rural, rural neighborhood centers, rural community centers, state parks, local parks, and agriculture. The distribution of the population within the District’s service area is a considerable challenge when it comes to providing emergency services. The District has six (6) fire stations located in Wauna, Wright Bliss, Key Center, Home, Longbranch, and Herron Island. The stations located in Wauna, Home and Longbranch (starting July 1st, 2020) have 24 hour a day staffing. These crews cross staff a wide range of apparatus, including ALS transport units. The Key Center station has administrative staffing during the week and is supplemented by a very dedicated group of Volunteer Firefighters. The remaining two stations are strictly staffed with Volunteers. The District provides a diverse compliment of emergency services, including fire response, EMS response, water rescue and more. Call volume for 2019 topped 2400 incidents, with many requiring the full strength of the organization. The District has recently passed legislation that will allow its services to expand into providing direct healthcare services through a recognized health clinic. Numerous opportunities exist in this new space for incumbent, and new employees of the District. Finally, the District is in a growth phase and anticipates a continued rise in its on duty staffing, currently at nine per shift, and expects many advancement opportunities to continue to present across the next several years.
