Thank you for your donation to SE Thurston Fire Authority (Yelm & Rainier). The Nisqually Tribe Charitable Fund has made generous donations to the SE Thurston Fire Authority, servicing the cities of Yelm and Rainier, as well as the surrounding area. These funds will be used for recruitment, training, and protective gear for volunteer fire fighters.

In the past, the funds provided by the Nisqually Tribe were used to build the SE Thurston Fire website (sethurstonfire.org). Part of the donation received from the Nisqually Tribe this year will be used to continue to maintain the website, as well as to produce a newsletter, “Seconds Do Count.” The newsletter provides education, safety tips, fire prevention, and volunteer recruitment for emergency responders and EMTs.

Thank you for your continued support.
