South Bay Fire District 8 is a political subdivision under the laws of the State of Washington. We are a volunteer based department serving the areas of Johnson Point, South Bay, Boston Harbor and North Olympia in Thurston County. Mission, Vision and Values. About South Bay Fire District 8 Anchor 1 HISTORY Thurston County Fire Protection District 8, (also known as the South Bay Fire Department) is a political subdivision under the laws of the State of Washington authorized and responsible for the delivery of fire protection and emergency medical services, including fire prevention, fire suppression, emergency rescue and basic life support response. We are staffed by a combination of volunteers and career responders. We serve the areas of North Olympia, Boston Harbor, Fishtrap, Gull Harbor, Hawks Prairie, Johnson Point, Puget Beach, South Bay and Woodard Bay in the unincorporated areas north of Olympia and Lacey. Thurston County Fire Protection District 8 - Information Sheet A Brief Video History of South Bay Fire Protection District 8 The South Bay Volunteer Fire Department (Fire District 8) 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. That same year voters also approved the creation of the North Olympia Volunteer Fire Department (Fire District 7), to provide fire protection for the rural community in the Boston Harbor area. The first fire station was located near the Gull Harbor Mercantile with a leased fire engine and two dozen volunteers. On January 1, 2015, Fire District 7 merged into Fire District 8. This was a momentous event that culminated after a long-term effort to consolidate the two fire districts. Today the South Bay Fire Department is made up of over 35 volunteers and twenty-two career staff, administered by a Board of five Fire Commissioners. We also have two District Chaplains. Our District serves over 13,000 residents within its 33 square mile area and our call volume exceeds 1300 calls per year. We have two staffed fire stations in the district, each housing a pumper, water tender and rescue unit. Crews respond from our South Bay Station 8-1 and North Olympia Station 8-3. There is also an un-staffed fire station on Johnson Point. For more about our District, you may read our Mission Statement, Vision and Goals, Strategic Plan and Policies and Procedures on this website. To better keep our community better informed, we send out a Community Newsletter on a quarterly basis. We also strive to keep our website current and informative. We encourage attendance at our monthly Board of Fire Commissioner Meetings that are held monthly on the first Tuesdays of the month. Most meetings are held at South Bay Station 8-1 at 5:30 pm. OUR MISSION, VISION and VALUES Mission: We are committed to serve our community with prompt, consistent and professional fire suppression, basic life support, rescue and prevention/ preparedness services. Vision: We will strive to meet adopted Target Levels of Service to our community through deployment based on two strategically located fire stations, staffed round-the-clock with competent responders and equipped with all necessary apparatus and equipment to provide Mission and Value driven services. Values: Our priority is to provide a consistent & professional emergency response throughout our District.

Adopted July 11, 2017 Our organization is proud of our fiscal responsibility and efficient use of public resources. We’d invite you to read our State Audit Reports: Accountability Audit Report INSURANCE CLASSIFICATION The Washington Survey & Rating Bureau (WSRB) is an independent non-profit public service organization that gathers and publishes information to assist the insurance industry in determining fire protection and suppression capabilities for the purpose of setting fire insurance premium rates. WSRB assigns all Washington State communities a grade, or Community Protection Classification (CPC), ranging from 10 (little or no capability) to 1 (exemplary fire protection capabilities). The WSRB systematically re-evaluates fire departments all over the state on a regular basis and ours was completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of that evaluation, the WSRB notified the District that it retained its CPC of “Class 3” originally achieved in 2020. The District also retained its “tender credits” capability with the new CPC. A CPC of “Class 3” will apply to residential and commercial properties located within five road miles of a recognized responding firestation and having standard fire hydrant distribution and water supply. Properties in the community not meeting the above requirements will receive a different protection class rating than the CPC. The three recognized responding firestations are located at: 3506 Shincke Road NE (South Bay Fire Station) 5046 Boston Harbor Road NE (North Olympia Fire Station) 8100 Johnson Point Road NE (Johnson Point Fire Station) The CPC and the individual property’s protection class may affect the owner’s fire insurance premiums (depending on the process the insurance company uses to establish premium rates). Generally, a higher protection class can be expected to result in higher fire insurance premiums, however insurance companies set their premiums independently and may use other criteria as well. The WSRB survey was not conducted for property loss prevention or for life safety purposes. The purpose was to gather information needed to determine a fire insurance relevant CPC that may be used to develop fire insurance rates or loss costs. The WSRB evaluation criteria incorporates many nationally recognized standards and has been filed with and approved by the Washington State Office of Insurance Commissioner.

The Board appoints a District Secretary and a Fire Chief and delegates them certain authorities for managing the operational function of the District. Fire Protection Districts Thurston County Fire Protection District 8 is a political subdivision under the laws of the State of Washington authorized and responsible for the delivery of services for the protection of life and property, including fire prevention, fire suppression, emergency rescue and emergency medical response. Chairman of the Board The Chair is directly responsible to assure that meetings are conducted according to the State Open Public Meetings Act and District policy. How the Board Operates Regular meetings of the Board are held once a month on a Tuesday. Occasionally a meeting will be moved due to a conflict. Meetings begin at 5:30 pm and are held at Station 8-1 located at 3506 Shincke Road NE, Olympia. Most meetings last between one to three hours. All regular and special Board meetings are open to the public and all actions authorized or required by law are taken at these meetings. A schedule of all regular meetings is available on the District web site www.southbayfire.com A draft agenda for each regular Board meeting is prepared in advance by the District Secretary in coordination with the Fire Chief and Board Chair. Meetings are then conducted by the Chair following the prescribed agenda. The Board draft agenda is available for public viewing on-line prior to the meeting. Click here for current draft agenda. As the Board meeting progresses, you may notice that there is quick action on some items. This is because the Board generally considers an issue for several meetings before taking action and also because background materials on the various items are sent to them for their careful study prior to the meetings. You will be able to follow the meeting actions more closely if you pick up a copy of the agenda that is available at the meeting. About Executive Session During some meetings, the Board may go into “executive session,” meaning that the public and the media are not allowed in attendance. The Board Chair will estimate the time the session will require. In these closed meetings, the Board may discuss litigation, personnel selection or evaluation, negotiations, complaints against an employee, or real estate transactions where public disclosure could be damaging to the individuals or the District. However, while the Board will only discuss these issues in executive session, Board action must be done in an open public meeting. Addressing the Board The agenda of each Board meeting reserves time near the beginning of the meeting for citizens to speak on questions, observations, or requests. A signup sheet is available near the entrance before meetings for this purpose. Visitors bringing concerns to the Board are asked to: Keep comments concise and to the point. The Chair will establish a time limit for individual public comments which will generally be no more than 3 minutes Speak to a current agenda item or request a future agenda item. Speak to a present, in-progress issue. Not reflect adversely on the political or economic view, ethnic background, character or motives of any individual, especially by name Visitors need to be respectful of the Commissioners’ meeting and will not speak out during the remainder of the agenda. Staff or Board members may provide an immediate response, if not, topics will be reviewed and responded to at a later date. Many times a concern can be more quickly resolved outside of a Board meeting by contacting the Fire Chief or a Board member directly. If, however, a citizen has already met with a District representative and still feels the issue is unresolved, the Board Chair may admit the comments into the minutes of the meeting.

Read about Southbay Fire Department History, Mission, Vision and Values; Master Planning and Objectives; Team members About South Bay Fire District 8 HISTORY Thurston County Fire Protection District 8, (also known as the South Bay Fire Department) is a political subdivision under the laws of the State of Washington authorized and responsible for the delivery of fire protection and emergency medical services, including fire prevention, fire suppression, emergency rescue and basic life support response. We are staffed by a combination of volunteers and career responders. We serve the areas of North Olympia, Boston Harbor, Fishtrap, Gull Harbor, Hawks Prairie, Johnson Point, Puget Beach, South Bay and Woodard Bay in the unincorporated areas north of Olympia and Lacey. Thurston County Fire Protection District 8 - Information Sheet Fire District 8 Post Merger Timeline A Brief Video History of South Bay Fire Protection District 8 The South Bay Volunteer Fire Department (Fire District 8) 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. That same year voters also approved the creation of the North Olympia Volunteer Fire Department (Fire District 7), to provide fire protection for the rural community in the Boston Harbor area. The first fire station was located near the Gull Harbor Mercantile with a leased fire engine and two dozen volunteers. On January 1, 2015, Fire District 7 merged into Fire District 8. This was a momentous event that culminated after a long-term effort to consolidate the two fire districts. Today the South Bay Fire Department is made up of over 35 volunteers and twenty-two career staff, administered by a Board of five Fire Commissioners. We also have two District Chaplains. Our District serves over 13,000 residents within its 33 square mile area and our call volume exceeds 1300 calls per year. We have two staffed fire stations in the district, each housing a pumper, water tender and rescue unit. Crews respond from our South Bay Station 8-1 and North Olympia Station 8-3. There is also an un-staffed fire station on Johnson Point. For more about our District, you may read our Mission Statement, Vision and Goals, Strategic Plan and Policies and Procedures on this website. To better keep our community better informed, we send out a Community Newsletter on a quarterly basis. We also strive to keep our website current and informative. We encourage attendance at our monthly Board of Fire Commissioner Meetings that are held monthly on the first Tuesdays of the month. Most meetings are held at South Bay Station 8-1 at 5:30 pm. OUR MISSION, VISION and VALUES Mission: We are committed to serve our community with prompt, consistent and professional fire suppression, basic life support, rescue and prevention/ preparedness services. Vision: We will strive to meet adopted Target Levels of Service to our community through deployment based on two strategically located firestations, staffed round-the-clock with competent responders and equipped with all necessary apparatus and equipment to provide Mission and Value driven services. Values: Our priority is to provide a consistent & professional emergency response throughout our District. We are committed to deploy our resources to ensure a response that meets our Target Levels of Service regardless of the incident location within our District. We are a team oriented organization and support each member’s achievement toward providing excellent service to our community. We commit to recruit and retain our members through programs that make effective use of their time, prepare them for their assigned duties, create synergy between organizational health & community service and build an environment that is safe, stimulating, respectful and fun. We will provide a consistent level of leadership and support for all of our members. Our commitment is to maintain and provide round-the-clock direction and mentorship. We will provide management and other resources as necessary to ensure the success consistent with our Mission, Vision and Values. We will identify, evaluate and offer appropriate proactive risk management programs to mitigate anticipated community hazards. We value an actively involved and well-informed community of residents, and believe citizens should have a fair and democratic opportunity to influence outcomes, participate in activities and share the pride of ownership of their fire department. Adopted July 11, 2017 Our organization is proud of our fiscal responsibility and efficient use of public resources. We’d invite you to read our State Audit Reports: Accountability Audit Report INSURANCE CLASSIFICATION February 1, 2026 The Washington Survey & Rating Bureau (WSRB) is an independent non-profit public service organization that gathers and publishes information to assist the insurance industry in determining fire protection and suppression capabilities for the purpose of setting fire insurance premium rates. WSRB assigns all Washington State communities a grade, or Community Protection Classification (CPC), ranging from 10 (little or no capability) to 1 (exemplary fire protection capabilities). The WSRB systematically re-evaluates fire departments all over the state on a regular basis and ours was completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of that evaluation, the WSRB notified the District that it retained its CPC of “Class 3” originally achieved in 2020. The District also retained its “tender credits” capability with the new CPC. A CPC of “Class 3” will apply to residential and commercial properties located within seven road miles of a recognized responding firestation and having standard fire hydrant distribution and water supply. Properties in the community not meeting the above requirements will receive a different protection class rating than the CPC. The three recognized responding firestations are located at: 3506 Shincke Road NE (South Bay Firestation) 5046 Boston Harbor Road NE (North Olympia Firestation) 8100 Johnson Point Road NE (Johnson Point Firestation) The CPC and the individual property’s protection class may affect the owner’s fire insurance premiums (depending on the process the insurance company uses to establish premium rates). Generally, a higher protection class can be expected to result in higher fire insurance premiums, however insurance companies set their premiums independently and may use other criteria as well. The WSRB survey was not conducted for property loss prevention or for life safety purposes. The purpose was to gather information needed to determine a fire insurance relevant CPC that may be used to develop fire insurance rates or loss costs. The WSRB evaluation criteria incorporates many nationally recognized standards and has been filed with and approved by the Washington State Office of Insurance Commissioner.

Fire Prevention Week As Fire Prevention Week™ approaches, the South Bay Fire Department reminds residents to “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety™” The South Bay Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®)—the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years—to promote this year’s Fire Prevention WeekTM campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire SafetyTM.” This year’s campaign, October 3-9th, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. “What do the sounds mean? Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family,” said Lorraine Carli, vice-president of outreach and advocacy at NFPA. The South Bay Fire Department encourages all residents to embrace the 2021 Fire Prevention Week theme. “It’s important to learn the different sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action!” said Chief VanCamp. “Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that came in the box, or search the brand and model online.” The South Bay Fire Department wants to share safety tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety” A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years. Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced. Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
