About South Bay Fire Department
We are a volunteer based department serving the areas of Johnson Point and South
Bay in northern Thurston County.
What is now known as the South Bay Volunteer Fire Department was formed by a group
of neighbors in April of 1953. The concerned volunteers began with 35 members and
a loaned 1939 Ford pick-up truck with a pressurized water tank in the back. The
school bus barn at the old South Bay School served as the first fire station and
volunteers responded to a grand total of 15 fire calls that year.
Today the South Bay Fire Department is made up of over 35 volunteers and four paid
staff, administered by a Board of Fire Commissioners. Our district serves over 7,500
residents within its 23 square mile area and our call volume exceeds 600 calls per
year. Volunteers respond from three fire stations in the district, each housing
a pumper, water tender and rescue unit.
