The Snohomish County Fire District 1 Board of Commissioners will celebrate 74 years of service at its final meeting on Dec. 3, 6:30 p.m., at South County Fire Headquarters, 12425 Meridian Ave. S, Everett.
The fire district in unincorporated south Snohomish County will be dissolved at the end of the year, a decision overwhelmingly approved by voters last February. The action will have no impact on fire and emergency medical services. Fire District 1 ceased providing those services more than two years ago when voters approved the formation of South County Fire, a regional fire authority that combined operations of Fire District 1 and the Lynnwood Fire Department.
South County Fire now serves more than 250,000 residents in unincorporated communities and the cities of Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace.
