Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe health complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death. The Bremerton Fire Department is happy to provide free blood pressure checks at all of its fire stations. Please keep in mind that firefighters may not always be available in the stations to provide this service, but if our crews are present, it will be our honor to give you a blood pressure check.
If you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other symptoms of a serious medical emergency, please call 9-1-1 instead of coming to the fire station. For more information on hypertension and great tips on controlling your blood pressure, visit the American Heart Association website (https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/high-blood-pressure).

What is “Open burning”?
Open burning is clearing of land, yard waste (leaves/branches), bonfires, or anything that does not fall under a “recreational fire”.
What is a “Recreational Fire”?
Recreational fires are held in designated fire pits, not to exceed 3ft. in diameter. Recreational fires are defined as burning dry, cord firewood or charcoal. No burning of yard waste, leaves/branches, debris/garbage, scrap wood (pallets/lumber), or particleboard is allowed.
Recreational campfire pits may not exceed 3 feet in diameter, flames may not exceed two feet high, pits shall be located in a cleared area at a minimum of 15 feet from any combustibles; including building, fence, cars, etc. Fires must be occupied until extinguished and always have an extinguishing method readily accessible.
The PulsePoint mobile app alerts CPR-trained bystanders to someone nearby having a sudden cardiac arrest that may require CPR.
The app is activated by the local public safety communications center simultaneous with the dispatch of local fire and EMS resources.
The purpose of the app is to increase the survival rates of cardiac arrest victims by:
The app is only activated if the event is occurring in a public place (the app is not activated for residential addresses).
In addition to the life-saving CPR/AED functionality, the app provides a virtual window into fire and EMS activity in the community, offering a unique opportunity for civic engagement and transparency.
Since the app requires a connection to the local public safety communications center, it is only available where adopted and implemented by the local Fire/EMS agency.
Development and support for the application is provided by the PulsePoint Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to guide, enhance and expand the reach of the app.
