Voters in the Camas-Washougal area are overwhelmingly in favor of three fire-related propositions that will build two new fire stations in the cities of Camas and Washougal — including a Camas-Washougal Fire Department (CWFD) headquarters station in downtown Camas — and will lift the levy rate lid for the East County Fire and Rescue (ECFR) District north of Camas-Washougal to help that fire district keep its two stations fully staffed and operational.
