Training Burn Scheduled in Sumner |
|
 East Pierce Fire & Rescue has scheduled a training burn of a Sumner house for Saturday, March 23. The house is located next to the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Please use caution when approaching this area as it will be very congested. You may want to drop off your recycling on an alternate day.
This house is also very visible from SR 410 as you approach Traffic Avenue from the west. Please do not pull over on Highway 410 to watch the burn, and be very cautious when driving this route as other drivers may be startled by the house. |

Beyond the Borders in Sumner |
|
Pierce County's Community Connections is expanding special needs transportation in rural Pierce County. The "Beyond the Borders Connector," a four-month pilot project, provides eligible riders with a link to services in rural communities. The transportation program is administered by Pierce County and serves seniors, individuals with disabilities, and people with low incomes. One of their five routes is in Sumner and runs seven days a week.
The Beyond the Borders (BTB) Connector offers eligible riders transportation to work, medical or social services appointments, the grocery store, and other destinations at no cost to the rider. In the past, BTB took riders from home to the nearest bus stop. The pilot project expands BTB to include five routes served by wheelchair lift-equipped 13-passenger buses. The buses have timed stops along the routes, but can also deviate from the routes to pick up individuals who need a lift-equipped trip, if they live within a half mile of the route.
More details about routes, stops and schedules are posted online at www.piercecountywa.org/cc. All riders must complete an eligibility screening to take advantage of the service. There is no restriction to the number of times a rider can use the Connector. For more information and to register, call 2-1-1 or 1-800-572-4357. |
