Saving lives and money

In the Camas-Washougal area, volunteer firefighters work side-by-side with paid personnel, and play an integral role in responding to emergencies, saving lives, and lending a hand wherever they are needed.

In a statement from Gov. Chris Gregoire that highlighted Washington State Volunteer Firefighter Recognition Week, she said “volunteer firefighters make a huge contribution to public safety in Washington State with more than 15,000 volunteer firefighters representing over 75 percent of the state’s total fire fighting resources.”
