Public Affairs
Public Affairs manages internal and external communications and provides community programming, safety education and information.
Request for Proposals
Between 2021-2022, the SFD will develop and implement a Home Fire Safety Program that targets vulnerable communities at highest risk for fire. In collaboration with community-based organizations, residents in targeted neighborhoods will receive fire safety education from trusted community members who will conduct home inspections and install smoke/CO alarms.

Media and Public Information
Providing timely and accurate information to the public is vital to the Seattle Fire Department mission. We release information to the media and general public as quickly as possible, often in a variety of formats such as Twitter, Facebook and our Fireline blog. Requests from the media should be sent to SFDPIO@seattle.gov.
