Justin Claibourn

Justin began his fire service career in 2005 as a volunteer with Eatonville Fire & Rescue. After completing Firefighter 1 and 2, as well as Hazmat Operations through a joint academy with OFV, he advanced his emergency medical skills by earning an EMT-B certification in 2006. He served actively until 2009, holding the position of Maintenance Lieutenant for the Town of Eatonville Fire Department, while simultaneously working as a Master Emergency Vehicle Technician for Central Pierce Fire & Rescue. During this time, Justin obtained additional fire service leadership and training certifications and served two terms on the board of the Washington Fire Chiefs mechanics division.

Following his move to the Randle district to manage his family farm, Justin joined Randle Fire & EMS, where he continued to pursue ongoing training. He retired from his mechanic career in 2023 to focus on farm management but remained active in the fire service. In May 2025, with nearly 20 years of volunteer experience, Justin was hired as the Fire Chief of Randle Fire & EMS, succeeding Chief Jaques after his 30-year tenure with the department.
