This section includes: The Fire Department and Borough Police Department.Fire Department - Bristol Bay Borough provides Volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Services in each of its three communities. Nathan Skinner (photo right) is the Borough Fire Chief. The email address for him is Fire.
King Salmon, South Naknek, and Naknek each have Volunteer Firefighters and EMT's with apparatus appropriate for fire fighting and EMS needs.
To the left is a picture of the Naknek Fire Station.
Each Volunteer Fire Station is headed by a Captain. Training is usually combined to include interested volunteers from each of the three locations.
Each community stores and performs minor maintenance on its own equipment in heated Fire Stations. In King Salmon, part of the borough's fire fighting apparatus is stored "on base" in the Air Force's Fire Station, rather than in a separate building.
The Fire Department also staffs three ambulances, one for each community. At this time we provide Basic Life Support Services. There are approximately 10 year-round EMS volunteers. In the summer months, the peak call-out season, our local volunteers are augmented by a hired staff of 4 to 5 EMT's.
Patients are transported to the Camai Community Health Center in Naknek.
The Fire Department is headed by one paid Fire Chief. Volunteers receive stipends for call-outs, medi-vacs, and training sessions required to maintain certification. In addition up to eight EMS volunteers are encouraged to attend the annual Southern Region EMS Symposium, while a similar number of Fire Service Volunteers are encouraged to attend an annual fire training symposium, in state.

The Bristol Bay Borough Police - The Police Department's primary mission is to enforce state laws and borough ordinances, uphold the peace and keep our community a safe place to live. The department dispatches police, EMT's, firefighters, and state troopers, in addition to caring for prisoners in the detention facility.
The Police Department currently has nine employees: Chief Rodney Enevoldsen, three officers, four dispatchers and a dispatch supervisor. The department is located on the Air Force Base in King Salmon, Alaska.
The police department's secondary mission is to assist police officers, state troopers, state court system personnel, the district attorney and other attorneys with administrative, secretarial and clerical responsibilities. The department also offers full time motor vehicle services, providing the public with the convenience of a local D.M.V. office.
The police department conducts all search and rescue missions within the Bristol Bay Borough area.
