Every year since 2015, East County Fire & Rescue’s (ECFR) Board Chair has submitted this report as a special outreach to our citizens, as well as those in the areas we provide mutual aid (Camas, Washougal, Skamania County, Vancouver, etc.).

In the 2026 State of the District, Board Chair Joshua Seeds reviews the previous year, reports on the overall state of East County Fire and Rescue, and looks forward to upcoming milestones.

Thank you to the voters of East County Fire and Rescue for your overwhelming support of the EMS levy. 

Every six years, the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau (WSRB) evaluates fire departments and assigns a Fire Protection Class rating based on factors such as staffing, training, equipment, water supply, communications, and overall emergency response capabilities.
