History[]
On January 1, 2015 Union Gap Fire & Rescue and Yakima County Fire District 11 began contracting services from the City of Yakima, with Union Gap choosing to renew their contract every 3 years, while Fire District 11 (which previously contracted with Union Gap) renewing their contract every 5 years. The City of Union Gap is currently exploring the possibility of not renewing the contract and re-manning their own department due to poor performance.
In 2023, the feasability of forming a Regional Fire Authority was explored to cover the Cities of Yakima and Union Gap, and Fire Districts 2, 4, and 11. The Upper Valley Regional Fire Authority plan was put on hold in September of 2023 as neighboring fire districts were opposed to forming an RFA as they had no funding issues to justify the RFA.
