Washington creates fire service advisory board

Beginning July 27, 2025, the law creates the Washington State Fire Service Policy Board. It advises the state fire protection director on fire marshal matters, budget requests, training, and resources. Five statewide fire service groups have voting representatives; the director or a designee serves without a vote. Members choose a chair and meet at least quarterly, with extra meetings called by the chair or director. The board is encouraged to seek input from regulated industries, agencies, and other groups. It can create volunteer advisory committees, whose members and other advisers receive no pay or expense reimbursement. Board members receive no pay but can receive authorized travel reimbursement. Board members and people acting for them are protected from civil liability for official acts within their duties. The law creates no direct household payment.
