Fort Lewis Fire Department (Washington)

== About ==
Fort Lewis Fire Department provided fire suppression service to the now defunct Fort Lewis in Thurston County, Washington.
== History ==
Fort Lewis began as Camp Lewis in 1917 when the citizens of Pierce County voted by an eight to one margin to bond themselves for $2 million to buy 68,721 acres of land. which they donated to the federal government for military use. This land was put to use by the United States Army, who built a military airfield in their portion of land within Pierce County in 1930. The land was split into Fort Lewis (Thurston County) & McCord Air Force Base (Pierce County) in 1947 after the establishment of the United States Air Force, who took over the airfield in Pierce County. The two facilities were merged on February 1, 2010, as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations of 2005.
