High Angle Rescue
From time to time we need to rescue people who are stuck on a cliff, high bank, or some other hard to reach place, so we practice a lot of different rope rescue methods.
Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Because we are called to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to perform rescue work, from auto accidents to attempted suicides, we have spend time getting familiar with the bridge from top to bottom.
Engine Company 13 is also located at Fire Station 13, North 25th and Proctor in Tacoma.
These are pictures of Station 13 from 1911 to the present.
Here are some assorted pictures of some of the fire fighters who have been unlucky enough to step in front of the camera!
