The Skamania County Fire Protection District 6 Fire Department trains throughout the spring and summer months. We prepare for both Fire and Medical emergencies. Over 80% of the calls we receive in the district are related to Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) and involve duties as First Responders and basic EMT.

This video depicts training that was conducted this May at the Pine Creek Information Station, a USFS installation that will be reopened this coming Summer. As part of the cleanup effort, the Fire Department was offered the chance to facilitate removal of two free-standing storage sheds by burning them. Our training for this exercise involved deployment and setup of the apparatus (Engine 1, Water Tender 1 and Squad 1), as well as line placement, hose positioning and water flow.
