Public Safety
WARNING
If you need help or want to report an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not
use RPIN's Web site.
If you are using VOIP (voice over Internet protocol)
phone service, 9-1-1
may not be able to trace your location. Instead, call from a neighbor's phone
with traditional phone or cellular service so that help can be dispatched to
you right away.
Many RPIN fire departments and police and sheriff's offices
teach fire and crime prevention to audiences of all ages. They also teach what
to do if a crime, fire, or other safety threat happens to you or someone you
know. Consult their Web sites for public- safety news and education programs in
your community.
Northwest FireWatch helps Western Washington home owners prepare for the threat of urban forest fires, explains the rules of
local burn bans and fireworks restrictions and assists campers in preventing forest fires.
Remember. The best way to stay safe when a major hazard
strikes a community is to be prepared.
