CKFR Overview

Within its boundaries and contracted areas CKFR provides Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response to approximately 115 square miles of land and serves a population of more than 72,000 citizens. In addition, CKFR is the County’s fastest growing fire agency as a result of a series of mergers, consolidations and contracts for fire and EMS protection services.

The economy is stable, generally because of the diversification of its economic base.

History

In 1942, the citizens in the Silverdale area petitioned for the formation of a fire district to protect their area. The voters in the area approved the ballot and Kitsap County Fire Protection District #1 was formed. In 1949, the citizens of North Perry (East Bremerton area) formed Kitsap County Fire Protection District #9. In 1952, the citizens of Tracyton formed Kitsap County Fire Protection District #11, and in 1954, the citizens of Brownsville formed Kitsap County Fire Protection District #15.

In 1977, District #11 merged into District #15 and a new facility was built with Trident impact funds in the Meadowdale area. In 1989, District #9 merged with District #15. In 1999, Fire District #15 merged with District #1 and became Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue (CKFR). On January 1, 2003 Kitsap County Fire District #12 officially merged with CKFR.
