Most people assume that when a fire engine arrives at an incident, there are enough firefighters to do the job efficiently and safely. That’s not the case at East Pierce Fire & Rescue (EPFR). We have only enough staffing to assign two firefighters to each fire engine. The national standards recommend four firefighters per engine, however in the Puget Sound region, the standard is three, leaving us one short to respond to your emergencies.
