PACE Partner of the Month

The PACE leadership team would like recognize Spokane Valley Fire Department as the Partner of the Month for April.

Since becoming a PACE partner in 2015, SVFD has shared the importance of good character by visiting schools, participating in PACE award ceremonies, and placing PACE materials and posters in local fire stations. These materials include special SVFD red and blue “Character Matters” bracelets given by firefighters to visitors during station tours.

Thank you SVFD for being an incredible PACE Partner!

"It takes a lot of courage to be a firefighter." Not just the 'hero' kind, but the courage to believe in yourself." Chief Bryan Collins, Spokane Valley Fire Department.

“It takes a lot of courage to be a firefighter.” Not just the ‘hero’ kind, but the courage to believe in yourself.” Chief Bryan Collins, Spokane Valley Fire Department visited Broadway Elementary last May to celebrate the trait of the month – courage.
