Air Support Program

 

South Kitsap Fire and Rescue's Air Support program is ideal for men and women who would like to volunteer for the district but don't want to go through the extensive training that is required for firefighting. The Air Support unit is staffed exclusively by volunteer crews.  This unit responds to major incidents that require replenishment of bottled air supplies.  The vehicle, housed at Yukon Harbor Station 9, houses a large air compressor.  Crews are toned on all residential and commercial structure fires, and canceled by the incident commander if not needed.  This unit also doubles as a rehab unit, providing crews with beverages and energy bars.
