NEW AID CAR DEDICATION JANUARY 29, 2011

King County Fire District 40 and Renton Fire & Emergency Services hosted a dedication ceremony at Fire Station 17 for our area's newest aid car. The dedication ceremony included a long-time tradition of the fire service, often referred to as a "housing ceremony."

The ceremony dates back to the 19th century when "fire wagons" were drawn by horses. Washing the wheels kept the wooden spokes from drying out as well as cleaning up after a fire. The wagon was then physically pushed back into the fire station.

Cooking

FOCUS ON COOKING SAFETY...

Cooking fires continue to be the most common type of fire. These fires are preventable by simply being more attentive to the use of cooking materials and equipment.

Don't become a cooking fire casualty. Learn the facts about cooking fire safety!

  • Cooking was the cause of almost half (46%) of residential bulding fires in 2009
  • Males face a disproportionate risk of cooking fire injury relative to the amount of cooking they do
  • Young children and older adults face a higher risk of death from cooking fires than do other age groups
  • Young children are at high risk from non-fire cooking-related burns
  • Unattended cooking is the single leading factor contributing to cooking fires
  • Frying is the cooking method posing the highest risk
