Fire and Emergency
Medical Services
In December of 2006,
the City of Mill Creek entered into an
Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish
County Fire District No. 7 to provide
Fire and Emergency Medical Services to
our City.
Fire District No. 7 covers 52 square
miles. The District has 108 employees
(including volunteer personnel) and 7
fire stations.
The three closest fire stations are:
-
Station 76 at 1020 - 153rd
Street SE (downtown Mill Creek)
-
Station 72 at 3431 - 180th
Street SE (Fernwood)
-
Station 77 at 6610 Snohomish Cascade
Drive SE (Gold Creek)
Station Staffing:
Station 76 –
three full-time personnel,
24-hours/day plus one resident
firefighter. A minimum of one of the
personnel is a paramedic, and the
remainder are all EMTs.
Station 72 - a minimum of three
full-time personnel, 24-hours/day plus
four resident firefighters. Usually
one of the personnel is a paramedic
and the remainder are all EMTs.
Station 77 - three full-time
personnel, 24-hours/day plus one

are EMTs.
Fire District No. 7 has 82 EMTs and 21
paramedics.
In addition to these stations, Fire
District No. 7 has "automatic aid"
with all of the surrounding fire
districts. Automatic aid provides for
the closest available unit to respond
regardless of the fire district.
The Fire Department
focuses on public education in an
effort to prevent fires and injuries
by providing
CPR/first aid classes. In addition,
Fire District No. 7 provides the
following programs:.
Smoke Alarm Program:
Working smoke alarms save lives- and
they can save yours! If your home
does not have a working smoke alarm,
Fire District 7 can install a free
smoke alarm for you and provide you
with fire safety information.
Blood Pressure
Checks:
Fire District 7 offers free blood
pressure checks when firefighters are
in quarters at the following
locations: at Station 71, Station 72,
Station 74, Station 76 and Station 77.
If you are having a medical emergency,
call 9-1-1 instead of coming to the
fire station. Our firefighters may be
out on another emergency call.
