Medical Incident Reports

The Olympia Fire Department's Emergency Medical Service incident reports contain private health information. Disclosure and access of such records must comply with RCW 70.02 (Medical Records - health care information access and disclosure).

Medical information is strictly confidential and cannot be released to anyone other than the patient unless the patient has signed a release of information document authorizing the second party to obtain the medical incident report. The requesting party will be required to present a valid identification.

Many records requests are filled the same day your request form is received. However, you should prepared to allow up to five (5) business days to receive a response to your request. In most cases, a report will be released within that five day period, but, in some instances (such as reports that are old enough to have been archived), reciept of a report can take longer. In that event, you will be notified in writing of the fact that your request will take longer than five days to complete, and you will be given a target date for when you should expect the material.

To request a copy of a medical incident report, please call 360.753.8348 or come to our Headquarters Station, 100 Eastside Street NE, Olympia during business hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
