In an effort to increase efficiency and effectiveness, we have joined forces with neighboring Governmental agencies to reduce duplications of services and costs. Programs currently in operation or in developmental stages are: East Snohomish County Regional Shop, Advanced Life Support Program (Paramedics), Cooperative Purchasing, Regional Training, and several other programs. These programs permit all of the participating Departments to provide their taxpayers with better service without being independently financially responsible for the program costs. By combining resources, we have found that we are able to accomplish things that we certainly would have not been able to do alone. East Snohomish County Fire Districts have raised the bar in the area of Intergovernmental Cooperation and have come to be known as very progressive in this area state wide.
Monroe Fire District #3 is dedicated to protect life, property, and the environment through education, prevention, and emergency response to medical, fire and hazardous materials.
"MAXIMUM EFFORT"
We strive to accomplish this mission by maintaining operational readiness, by providing a highly trained and physically fit workforce, by promoting safety in all endeavors, and providing the necessary resources to adequately protect those we serve.
