City of Washougal employee rescues hens from fire

A city of Washougal employee’s decisive actions saved the lives of a Washougal resident’s chickens last month. 

On the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 31, City lead maintenance worker Allen Faler was driving down Washougal River Road when he witnessed smoke emanating from a resident’s chicken coop and “promptly jumped into action,” according to a social media post by the City.
