This hard-working young Spokane Valley woman recently achieved her dream of becoming a registered nurse, thanks in part to the SVFD Employees Scholarship Fund.
Partner Spotlight: Novelis
Eight Novelis volunteers teamed up with SVFD employees to perform “mini-blitz” Home Fire Safety Visits in two mobile home parks during the evening hours of August 22. The teams successfully gained entry 80 percent of the time, resulting in 232 new smoke alarms in 96 homes!

Spotlight: Finance Director Angela Golden

Spotlight: Paramedic Nick Zambryski
When Paramedic Firefighter Nick Zambryski was considering fencing options for his dog, he never dreamed that a conversation with Invisible Fence Inland NW would turn into a donation of life-saving pet oxygen masks aboard SVFD fire engines!
Spotlight: Chaplain Ken McNaughton
Retired veteran firefighter Ken McNaughton has volunteered his time as SVFD Chaplain since May 2015. He and fellow Inland Northwest Fire Chaplains were recently recognized for the special services they provide to firefighters, their families and the communities they serve.
Spotlight: Paramedic Travis Richardson
On October 30, 2017, Richardson was off-duty coaching his son’s football team when a player collapsed on the sideline. Richardson quickly took off the player’s shirt and pads and began CPR while another coach administered the AED and a third man called 911. This team effort saved the young man’s life.

Raised in a family of firefighters, this young woman brings her passion for prevention to her role as Community Risk Reduction Specialist. Spencer joined SVFD only 18 months ago and has already made a difference in the safety of our community and firefighters.
Spotlight: Firefighter Jared Bradford on ‘Caring’
“As a firefighter, I see people who are in vulnerable situations. Firefighters also hear about the financial struggles within our community as a whole. It is this need that prompted us to create a special charity – the Spokane Valley Firefighters Benevolent Association.”
Spotlight: Pull & Save Auto Parts
Each year, more than 160 Spokane Valley firefighters complete annual and advanced extrication training at Pull & Save Auto Parts at no cost to the Department. Owner Russ Spalding was honored by SVFD for his ongoing support and commitment to the Department during the recent Recognition Awards & BBQ event.
