Last Wednesday was the first day of a six-month trial consolidation period between the Camas and Washougal fire departments. The day included the first combined command staff meeting with Camas and Washougal officers. The meetings will be held on a monthly basis. Pictured above (left to right) are Camas Fire Chief Nick Swinhart, Washougal Fire Chief Ron Schumacher, Camas Emergency Medical Services Capt. Cliff Free, and Camas Battalion Chief Allen Wolk.

As many of you have read in the newspaper recently, your Camas Fire Department has begun what we hope is a long standing relationship with the dedicated staff of the Washougal Fire Department.

This six-month trial consolidation will involve the cross staffing of personnel from both departments in an effort to decrease overtime and provide an even more efficient service to the residents of our communities.
