Central Pierce Fire & Rescue (CPFR) will conduct Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) training from July through October 2026. The training aims to prepare firefighters and paramedics for large-scale emergencies that could affect Puyallup and surrounding areas.

CPFR reported responding to 3,883 emergency calls in August 2026, averaging 125 calls per day. Of those calls, 78% were EMS-related and 6% were fire-related. The MCI training is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen emergency response capabilities for the community.

The training will include technical rescue operations and coordination with partners like the Washington National Guard. CPFR encourages residents to learn CPR and basic first aid, citing a recent incident where a firefighter's quick action saved his infant son during a choking emergency.
