Learn how Spokane County Fire District 9 prepares for and responds to emergencies, including EMS and fire operations, technical rescue teams, apparatus, and auto aid. Preparedness & Response Auto Aid EMS & Fire Operations Technical Teams Apparatus Menu Close Auto-Aid Faster, Smarter Emergency Response When emergencies occur near jurisdictional boundaries, every second counts. That’s why Spokane County Fire District 9 participates in auto‑aid agreements with neighboring agencies like Spokane Valley Fire Department and Spokane City Fire Department. These formal arrangements ensure that the closest available fire unit is dispatched immediately—regardless of district lines—so help arrives faster and more efficiently. Auto‑aid differs from mutual aid in that it does not require a request at the time of the incident. Instead, responses are triggered automatically under terms pre-arranged in written agreements. This streamlined system enables a more coordinated, rapid response from multiple departments, especially during the crucial first-alarm timeframe. Enhanced Efficiency Departments work together using shared communications and training standards, making multi-district response seamless and effective. Speed Saves Lives By sending the nearest resources immediately, auto‑aid reduces response times and improves outcomes. Resilient Coverage Auto‑aid ensures communities remain protected even when demands spike or local resources are stretched thin. EMS & Fire Operations Spokane County Fire District 9 provides both fire suppression and emergency medical services to the community, with five stations staffed 24/7. Of those, four are staffed with Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics, who deliver high-level emergency care including medication administration and advanced treatment for cardiac and respiratory emergencies. The remaining stations are supported by community-based volunteer firefighters, many of whom are certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). EMTs provide essential care such as bleeding control, fracture stabilization, spinal immobilization, and assist paramedics with more advanced procedures. Our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) section oversees all pre-hospital medical training, continuing education, quality improvement, and performance review for both ALS paramedics and Basic Life Support (BLS) EMTs within the District. This team is committed to incorporating new techniques and technologies to continuously improve the care we provide to our community.
