East County Fire & Rescue was formed on May 16, 2006 when Clark County Fire District # 1 merged into Clark County Fire District # 9. Fire District # 9 then petitioned the Board of County Commissioners to officially change our name to better reflect our Service Area: eastern Clark County, Washington aka “East County”. The District is primarily volunteer and provides Fire Protection, Emergency Medical Response, Rope Rescue, Water Rescue, and Public Service Assistance to the unincorporated areas north of— and east of— the cities of Camas and Washougal. Approximately 70 Paid and Volunteer Fire Fighters, EMS Responders and Emergency Response Team Members respond to 900+ calls per year from our six fire stations: Bear Prairie, Fern Prairie, Livingston Mountain, Mt. Norway, Orchard Hills and Sunnyside. The Fern Prairie Station (Station 91) and the Mt. Norway Station (Station 94) are staffed 24/7. The Sunnyside (Station 93) and Bear Prairie (Station 96) Fire Stations have Resident Firefighters who live in the Stations in exchange for responding to calls. The Livingston Mt. (Station 93) and Orchard Hills (Station 95) Fire Stations are served by On-Call Volunteer Firefighters who respond from home or work to pick-up apparatus and equipment for response to fire or medical emergencies and public service calls. |
