West Thurston Fire & Life Safety Consortium

==About==
West Thurston Fire & Life Safety (WTFLS) is a non-profit consortium in the form of an interlocal agreement to improve partnership between several fire districts in western Thurston County. The agreement allows the districts to work together on various programs, training drills, and responses. WTFLS is an entirely separete entity from any of the districts, allowing assets to be managed under the seperate name as opposed to an asset being tied to a sole district.
