Since I was elected as your fire commissioner in 2007 - a large portion of District 40 (Benson/Cascade) was annexed into the City of Renton. We negotiated a contract with Renton (now the Renton Regional Fire Authority) to provide fire and emergency services to the balance of District 40. We continue to research the best and most economical method to provide the emergency services to our Fairwood community.
