Our mission
Our mission is to protect life and property, promote safety for everyone who lives in or visits our fire district, support our mutual-aid partners wherever the call takes us, and place the needs of our community above all else.
The district
About Nile-Cliffdell Fire & Rescue
The institutional story of Yakima County Fire District 14: who we are, where we serve, how we are governed, and the people and equipment behind the response.
Service philosophy
Neighbors helping neighbors. We act in the best interest of our mission with care and compassion, treat every call as a genuine emergency, and serve every person with the same dignity, patience, and concern we would give our own family.
Our volunteer identity
We are members of the community we serve. We live here, raise our families here, travel the same roads, and care for the same land. The people who call us are our friends, relatives, and neighbors. We volunteer because this is our home—and when our community needs help, we answer.
The Fighting 410 culture
The Fighting 410 culture reflects the community we serve: strong, rugged, industrious, and resourceful. We make our own luck, do the most with what we have, and prepare for the worst because mountain communities demand it. We train hard, work hard, fight hard, and stand together. We may be raw, loud, and plainspoken, but we are disciplined, dependable, and committed to one another. We are brothers and sisters of the axe. We are family. We are 410 Strong.
