Camas officials this week reviewed a plan to replace the aging Camas-Washougal Fire Department (CWFD) headquarters, known as Fire Station 41, station in downtown Camas.

“We were looking for a place that could handle the call volume we get for Station 41,” CWFD Fire Chief Cliff Free reminded Camas City Council members during the Council’s regular meeting Monday, March 18, explaining that the new station would need to be as close as possible to Fire Station 41’s high-volume service area surrounding downtown Camas.
