Clallam County Fire District #3

What Clallam County Fire District #3 does

Clallam County Fire Protection District #3 is a Washington State special-purpose government entity — legally classified as a non-profit public agency — that provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, and incident management to the Sequim and Carlsborg communities within Clallam County. The district operates an administrative office at 863 Carlsborg Road, Unit C, with a separate mailing address at 323 N 5th Ave. Sequim, WA, and serves a defined geographic service area governed by a Board of Fire Commissioners under Washington State law. It is funded through local property tax levies and voter-approved measures, with a 43-employee paid workforce supplemented by volunteer firefighters and an Explorer youth program.

The district's service portfolio spans core emergency response (Emergency Medical Services, Fire Suppression covering structural and wildland fire), specialized capabilities (Technical Rescue Team, Hazardous Materials, Incident Management using the ICS framework), support functions (Training, Specialized Equipment and Apparatus), and a community-outreach vertical (CPR Courses, Fire Station Tours, Public Records Requests, Knox Box program, and Safety Resources for Kids/Seniors/Disabled). Revenue mechanics are predominantly tax-levy-based, with ambulance transport billing outsourced to Systems Design West, a third-party EMS billing administrator. The district does not disclose a software/technology stack, proprietary platform, or AI/data product layer; the underlying "technology" is operational — fire apparatus, ambulances, hydrant infrastructure, and trained personnel — rather than a software offering.

Clallam County Fire Protection District #3 holds an exclusive statutory franchise to deliver fire and EMS services within its boundaries, which structurally limits competition and defines its go-to-market. Public-facing communication channels include the district website (ccfd3.org), a Facebook page, a newsletter mailing list, press releases, and community outreach programming. The district is not an investment-bearing entity in the conventional sense: it has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no patents, and no disclosed revenue or budget figures in the available source material.

Broad incumbents

• Seattle Fire Department: Large urban municipal fire department providing the same core emergency services at significantly greater scale. Useful as an incumbent benchmark for specialized capabilities and service standards, though not size-comparable.

Direct peers

• Port Angeles Fire Department: Municipal fire department also located in Clallam County delivering fire suppression, EMS, and rescue services. Comparable in mission and customer base but organized as a city department rather than an independent special district.
• Clallam County Fire District #2: Another Clallam County fire protection district serving a neighboring portion of the county. Same legal structure (Washington special district), same levy-based funding, and same core emergency services.
• East Jefferson Fire Rescue: Neighboring Jefferson County fire authority on the Olympic Peninsula providing fire, EMS, and rescue services via a similar levy-funded public model. Strong operational comparability in scale and service mix.
• North Mason Regional Fire Authority: Regional fire authority in Mason County, Washington providing EMS, fire suppression, and rescue with a comparable staffing scale and levy-based funding. Directly comparable peer for operational benchmarking.
• Clallam County Fire District #1: Neighboring Clallam County fire protection district providing overlapping EMS, fire suppression, and rescue services to an adjacent service area in Washington State. Directly comparable in mission, funding model (levy-based), and service mix.
• Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One: Pierce County, Washington fire and EMS agency of comparable scale operating under a similar public-safety mission with fire suppression, EMS, and community programs.
• Bainbridge Island Fire Department: Washington State municipal fire department of comparable size delivering fire suppression, EMS, technical rescue, and community risk reduction. Similar small-island/rural operating context and funding structure.
• Central Mason Fire & EMS: Washington fire and EMS agency serving a similar rural/semi-rural area with overlapping core services. Useful benchmark for staffing models, apparatus replacement cycles, and levy-driven budgeting.

Others

• Systems Design West: Third-party ambulance billing vendor used by the district for EMS transport billing. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct service competitor, but a key operational dependency.
