History
Spokane County Fire District 10 was founded in 1949 and has served the community of the West Plains ever since providing EMS, fire, and educational service to our customers. Fire District 10 was originally an all-volunteer organization and to this day is primarily served by volunteers. It has a proud history of public service performed by neighbors for neighbors. Our values, integrity, and ethics stem from this basic understanding of serving our community.
Fire District 10 has undergone many changes within its district boundaries over the years. We have added new stations, apparatus, and personnel. In 2012 we had a boundary change when the City of Spokane annexed the western border of our district. During that same time, the City of Airway Heights also expanded its borders by annexing part of District 10. The cities that border our district and even those outside our borders (Medical Lake, Cheney, and Reardan) all have a healthy working relationship with Fire District 10. They provide mutual aid for our customers when needed and we provide the same to those communities as well.
Fire District 10 will continue to bring the West Plains community the highest level of emergency services possible and aid in bringing together our community resources through professional relationship building.
