Ryan Fish, fire chief for the City of Grand Coulee, told the Electric City Council during public comment that regional emergency responders handled 530 calls in 2025, including 156 non‑transport responses and 55 calls from Electric City residents. Fish said he is working to establish a District Fire Authority to coordinate services across jurisdictions, a process he estimated would take about "1 ½ to 2 years" to complete.
The update gave council members a snapshot of last year’s workload and the planned regional governance change. Fish’s figures—530 total responses in 2025 with 55 originating in Electric City—were presented as operational facts for council consideration; no formal action followed. The council did not vote on the District Fire Authority proposal at the meeting and asked for no immediate changes to local operations.
