 The
Snohomish County Airport Paine Field Fire Department
is staffed 24 hours each day to provide firefighting and medical aid to
aircraft incidents and structures on the Airport. Airport Security
has a full-time deputy sheriff on staff. In addition, as part of the
Fire Department division, Paine Field Airport maintains a
fire apparatus repair shop.
On structural fires and emergency medical aid calls, the airport fire
department activates mutual aid responses from the City of Everett,
Snohomish County Fire District 1 and City of Mukilteo. This arrangement
provides crew strength and paramedic level medical care at Paine Field.
In an emergency, dial 911 to receive fire, medical or
safety/security assistance.

 Paine
Field's FAA Tower must be notified by pilots if they
experience any problems or have any concerns. The FAA tower will
immediately notify the Public Safety department if it becomes necessary
for airport rescue equipment or manpower to be deployed.
Firefighters will gladly stage their equipment to watch you land
safely—in order to be of greater service during the rare moments when
they are truly needed.

On Saturday, July 12, 2003, Paine Field Fire crews responded with
their Foam Unit to a fuel tanker fire on I-5. This unit is a 1988
Oshkosh with 3,000 gallons of water and 410 gallons of 3% AFFF. The
unit was acquired from the Port of Seattle Fire Department in 2001.
With the aid of this unit, and in conjunction with other area
emergency responders, the tanker fire was extinguished and disaster
averted. A recap of Paine Field Fire Department's
mutual aid response to this event is available
here.
