Department Overview:

South Whidbey Fire/EMS is a rural fire district in Island County, Washington. It is comprised of 66 square miles and is one of three fire districts on Whidbey Island. All but two miles of the boundary of the district is 57 miles of Puget Sound shoreline. The elevation ranges from sea level to approximately 500 feet. There are three lakes on the south end, which all have public access and are used for fishing and recreational boating. There are also two salt-water marinas, and many shoreline parks, boat launches, and beaches. There is a significant wildland-urban interface. The summers are short, comfortable, dry, and partly cloudy and the winters are cool, wet, and mostly cloudy. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 37°F to 76°F and is rarely below 27°F or above 85°F. The average rainfall is 43-45 inches per year.

The district is predominately rural in nature. The only incorporated municipality in the district is the City of Langley, which has a population of 1,180. In addition to the City of Langley, two other communities, Clinton and Freeland, have their own post offices and zip codes. The district has a permanent population of 16,000, but due to an influx of tourists and employees, the effective daily population can be as high as 25,000.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS serves this population with one fully staffed fire station located more or less centrally in the district, a second station staffed when shift staffing is adequate, and four volunteer stations spread out towards the perimeter of the district. The strategic plan calls for the staffing of three stations as the increase in staffing over the next two years will allow. SWFE provides BLS's first response, with ambulance transport being provided by Whidbey Health Hospital. Although the hospital is located in Coupeville, 15 miles north of the district, there is an ambulance station in the district with normal staffing of two ALS ambulances.
