Our crews from Chelan County Fire District #3 have been out on the Little Giant Fire, putting in long days and doing what they do best.There have now been three crews do two week rotations as earlier this week, the second crew was swapped out with a fresh crew to give our firefighters some well-earned time to come home, rest, and recharge.We’re incredibly proud of everyone who has been out there representing our district. These deployments can mean long hours, hard work, and a lot of time away from family and home. We’re grateful for their dedication and for the families, friends, and coworkers who support them while they’re gone.Stay safe out there, and thank you to everyone working the Little Giant Fire.#ccfd3 #leavenworthwa ...

🚩 RED FLAG WARNING FOR SATURDAY 🚩The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for our area from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday.Tomorrow's weather will create conditions where any fire that starts could spread rapidly. While temperatures will be a little cooler than today, strong west winds of 15–25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph, combined with very low humidity and dry vegetation, will make for critical fire weather conditions.Our neighboring districts to the east are under a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Red Flag Warning, which is a very rare warning that is only issued during the most extreme fire weather events. While Chelan County is not included in the PDS area, we're all being impacted by the same powerful weather system, and conditions here will still be dangerous.With the dry fuels across Chelan County, it only takes one spark to start a wildfire. We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe.Thank you for doing your part to help protect Chela#CCFD3t#leavenworthwavenworthwa ... See MoreSee Less

Brush 33, with FF/EMT Calhoon and FF/EMT Tolton, responded yesterday to the Kaiser Canyon Fire. The fire is burning in Okanogan and Ferry counties, and is currently at 53,000 acres. Brush 33 and crew have been hard at work on night shift, prepping houses and defending them as the fire passed through. We responded through the state mobilization of resources. The program was created in 1992 after the ‘91 Spokane Fire Storm, and allows local fire districts to request resources state-wide. This allows for additional help when all mutual aid resources are engaged or the fire becomes an extended attack.The fire danger in Leavenworth is currently: VERY HIGHPC: FF/EMT Calhoon ...

CCFD#3 has recognized the need for fuel reduction in the district for years. The inability to burn woody debris during the summer months is compounded by the apple maggot quarantine restrictions. Our chipping program in the spring and fall has made an impact in processing the dead and down fuel loading in the community. Furthermore, our Fuels Crew has been hard at work this summer, completing 16 defensible space treatments so far with over 20 acres treated. This work is being achieved with funds from the Community Wildfire Defense Grant. We’re extremely proud of the hard work our crew is doing to make our communities’ homes safer in the event of wildfire; creating defensible space around individual homes and egress paths. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." - Benjamin Franklin (speaking on the subject of fire prevention) If you have any interest in participating in our chipping program or have defensible space needs, please reach out via info@chelanfd3.org ...

Attention - The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Leavenworth area until 11AM tomorrow.

You can't stop lightning strikes, but we can strive to not have any human caused starts during this time. Thank you all for being safe so far this fire season.Current Fire Danger: VERY HIGH ...

Fire season is upon us! You can help Fire District 3 prepare for fires threatening our community by: • Volunteering to provide support services for firefighters including food preparation and support for their families so they can maintain focus on the emergency at hand.• If you are a paid firefighter with another jurisdiction living in District 3, join us as a Reserve Firefighter. Different than our regular volunteer firefighters, we’re looking for help from current professional firefighters to help us out during major emergencies and disasters.• Donate to help pay for the cost of personal protective equipment for our Reserve Firefighters.
