History[]
Mason County Fire Protection District No. 11 operated as Island Lake Fire.
A special election was held on September 19th, 1967 to decide if Fire District 11 should be formed. The district was formed with 584 "Yes" votes and 54 "No" votes. On the November 7, 1967 General Election, voters approved a $50,000 bond issue that funded the construction of the fire station and the purchase of a fire engine.
On February 23rd, 2023, commissioners of Fire District 11 placed a measure on the April 25th Special Election proposing the merger into Central Mason Fire & EMS, which voters approved with 302 "yes" votes and 172 "no" votes.[1] The merger was approved by voters and was finalized on June 1st, 2023.
Island Lake Fire was part of an Interlocal Agreement with Olympia Fire Department for apparatus maintenance, where OFD provided the mechanics and Lacey Fire District 3 provided the maintenance facility.
