SOUTH BAY FIRE DEPARTMENT
South Bay Fire Department Host Blood Drive!
​
Please join us on Thursday, July 29th from 9 am - 2 pm at our headquarters located at 3506 Shincke Road NE to make a blood donation through the Cascade Regional Blood Services Bloodmobile.
​
Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, there has been a critical need for blood products. The decrease in blood drives has resulted in a low community blood supply while the need for blood has rapidly increased as hospitals resume elective surgeries and continue treatments for cancer, other diseases such as sickle cell anemia and daily traumas. If you are healthy and eligible we encourage you to donate!
​
What Can I Expect When Donating?
The process is an ‘essential service’ and very easy and safe. Bring photo id with you. You will be registered, and fill out a
questionnaire to confirm that you are eligible to donate that day. In a private area, a friendly phlebotomist will ask you a
‘mini’ physical, checking your blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and iron level.
You will be led to the donor area and relax on a comfy bed for your donation. We collect about one pint of blood in a sterile bag. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy refreshments and then be on your way.
​
Donations By Appointment Only!!
Please sign-up to make your Blood Donation!

The South Bay Fire District is excited to announce its new, online Community Risk Assessment Dashboard.
This virtual dashboard is created in partnership with mySidewalk, a data science platform designed for public service.
Our Fire Department responds to thousands of incidents each year, the majority of which are calls for Emergency Medical Service. We are on the front lines responding to emergency incidents, but it is also our duty to proactively prevent and mitigate the impact of these incidents.
​
This Community Risk Assessment is being used as a comprehensive plan to prevent incidents and improve life for all our residents.

Regional Approach
Effective January 11, 2021, the State of Washington is launching Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery which will use a regional approach for its upcoming phased recovery plan. These regions are largely based on the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) regions used for evaluating healthcare services given the concern for COVID-19’s potential impact on the healthcare system.
​
There will be eight regions in Washington that fall along county lines. Most regions in Washington have four or more counties. These regions are designed based on the available health care services in the area which has a strong connection to the metrics we will be using for COVID-19 hospitalizations, case data, and general mobility of individuals.
