The Kittitas City Council on Tuesday discussed having the city annex fire and EMS services into Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue. The issue of fire response in the city of Kittitas has been a topic of discussion for several years. Council members looked at three options during a worksession: The Kittitas Fire Department remains independent and continues to work with KVFR. Under this option, the service level stays the same, and Kittitas would continue to have periodic delays and gaps in fire response, according to agenda materials. Kittitas residents would pay the full cost for ambulance transports. The city contracts with KVFR for fire protection
