Reports
The Bellevue Fire Department makes fire and emergency medical records available to the public on request.
Fire Reports
Fire incidents not ruled to be criminal in cause are a matter of public record, and the report may be released upon the completion of the investigation.
All requests must be in writing and include the date, time and address/location of the incident. There is a charge of $3.50 for all incident reports up to 12 pages. Additional pages are 15 cents each. Any other requested items, such as photographs, are duplicated and the actual cost charged.
To ensure that release does not compromise an ongoing investigation, the Bellevue Police Department manages the release of records for fires determined to have been criminal in cause.
Emergency Medical Reports
A request for an emergency medical report should be submitted in writing, accompanied by an authorization for release of medical information. You may download the release form, complete it and send or fax it with your request to the Fire Department, at the address in the right column of this page.
Please include the name of patient and date of incident in the request. Please allow three to five business days for processing.
