A core budget of $1.05 million was suggested to improve and modernize the building shell and core. The suggested additional budget for tenant improvements is subject to the type of occupancy and varies from approximately $800,000 for standard office/professional services to approximately $1.2 million for functionality that could include commercial / kitchen / community hall type facilities. Over the next six months, a City Council subcommittee will attempt to seek outside funding and grants. For more information contact the City Manager's Office at either 360-417-4500 or 360-417-4630.

Medic I Utility Cost of Service Study - 2010 The Medic I Fund is structured around a cost of service approach, with the first cost of service study completed in 2005. It is the purpose of this study to identify Medic I's cost of providing ambulance and EMS services to its customers and to propose rate adjustments that more closely reflect the utility's present cost structure. The Medic I Utility Cost of Service Study - 2010 is available below. City Council will review and discuss this study at a future City Council meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Fire Chief Dan McKeen at dmckeen@cityofpa.us
PORT ANGELES FIRE & RESCUE NEW LOGO Each functional consolidation between agencies has shown that both departments are progressively changing to meet the needs of our citizens. This joining of resources has never been more important as our demands have been increasing at a time when our financial resources have been struggling. The formation of an ad-hoc committee to explore the feasibility of a full consolidation is moving forward. Based upon the committee's recommendation, we may be combining both departments into a single more efficient organization.
Each firefighter from the two departments was given the opportunity to submit a proposed name and a proposed patch. A committee comprised of an equal number of career and volunteer firefighters paired the submittals down to three. The entire membership of both departments was given the opportunity to vote on the final selection. The selected patch with the name is shown above. Click on the graphic to view larger image size. There will likely be some minor modifications to the patch. The new name and patch will only be used if the consolidation effort moves forward and is successful.

Investigations: The Fire Prevention Division investigates all significant fires that occur in the City. Fires are investigated in order to determine the origin of the fire and the cause of the fire. Finding the origin and cause of a fire can help investigators determine whether or not a crime has occurred, but more importantly, the investigation may enable the Department to prevent a similar occurrence through directed prevention efforts. If a fire is determined to be suspicious in nature, The Fire Department investigators work closely with the Police Department in order to process the scene and follow-up with necessary investigative work. The Port Angeles Fire Department also works closely with local and regional fire investigation teams.
