Camas-Washougal (WA) Fire Needs New Fire Stations

In a new master plan for the fire department, city council heard a plan to replace two fire stations, reports The Columbian.

The changes to station locations are needed to help response times, according to the report, which says National Fire Protection Association standards and the Center for Public Safety Excellence accreditation of fire departments both evaluate response time criteria.

A report says that Camas has two under served areas: Prune Hill and the southeast side of Lacamas Lake. It suggests moving Station 41 north from its downtown Camas location, where it’s currently built into City Hall.
