Between Feb. 28 and March 5, the Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 286 calls for service, among them the following:

Feb. 28

Aid call: 2:50 p.m. (Auburn). Firefighters assessed a woman who was in the throes of seizures, and then transported her to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center for further treatment. The woman’s husband was deployed overseas and because she did not have anyone to care for her three young children, firefighters brought the kids to the hospital, too. The woman said her dog needed to be walked, so firefighters walked the critter and fed him.

Landslide: 5:28 p.m. (Auburn). Firefighters responding to reports of a landslide blocking both directions of a road closed the road to traffic and waited for city personnel arrive. The road was not reopened until it could be safely investigated and cleared.

March 1

Accident: 2 p.m. (Auburn). Firefighters and paramedics assessed a man moments after he’d run his classic muscle car into a telephone pole at a high rate of speed. A private ambulance transported him to Harborview Medical Center.

Landslide: 11:29 p.m. (Auburn). Firefighters hustling to westbound Highway 18 and Peasley Canyon Road for a multi-car accident arrived to find damaged vehicles along the side of the road, but no injured parties. A landslide had let loose and encroached onto Highway 18, damaging several vehicles. Highway 18 was closed westbound and left in control of the Washington State Patrol.

March 3

Aid call: 11:29 p.m. (Lea Hill). Firefighters evaluated a man who’d been spritzed with pepper spray after a verbal confrontation. The man refused any treatment or care by VRFA personnel, and at his request, the firefighters left him with the Auburn Police Department.
