Learn more about the Camas-Washougal Fire Department.The Camas-Washougal Fire Department provides fire, fire suppression, technical rescue, emergency medical services and ambulance transport to approximately 50,000 people over 20 square miles. Emergency personnel currently respond to over 5,500 calls per year. In 1935, Camas started providing ambulance service to Washougal. The cities began a trial consolidation of the two fire departments in 2011, then agreed to a temporary partnership in 2014 governed by an interlocal agreement. In the agreement, Camas maintains the fire department and Washougal contracts with Camas for emergency services. Both cities have taken steps to make the partnership permanent by asking voters to consider forming a regional fire authority.There are challenges under the existing agreement.Camas and Washougal work hard to collaborate under the fire services agreement, but it is not an efficient way to run a fire department. It can complicate the delivery of emergency services at the point where two city councils &ndash;14 elected officials &ndash; must agree with each other. In addition, property owners in Camas and Washougal pay for fire service through the general property tax levy paid to the cities. As costs for emergency services increase, it reduces revenue the cities have for police, parks, streets and other services.The RFA is fairer and more cost-effective for taxpayers.Camas and Washougal are asking voters to consider forming a regional fire authority (RFA) during the April 22, 2025, Special Election. An RFA is an independent agency to provide fire/EMS with one governing board representing residents in both cities collectively. Property owners would pay the RFA directly for services eliminating the cities as the intermediary. Most importantly, property owners in both cities would pay the same rate for service of $1.05 per $1,000. This equal investment brings fairness to the taxes we all pay for fire service and means there can be collaborative, long-term emergency services planning for both communities as they grow. Long term stability in the RFA ensures that future investments (such as stations, apparatus and equipment) are more cost-efficient. Additionally, an RFA is directly accountable to its taxpayers and is governed by locally-elected representatives. The RFA provides a higher level of service for residents.Higher call volumes are impacting our response capacity and require more emergency personnel. The RFA would provide three-person engine companies (instead of two), enabling the first arriving engine to enter a burning building to rescue a victim instead of waiting for additional emergency personnel to arrive. It also provides more personnel in case of any emergency, such as wildland fires, motor vehicle accidents, technical rescues, multiple patient scenes, hazardous spills, and school emergencies. The RFA allows for saving money for fire engines, other emergency apparatus and equipment. It also would waive the co-pay for ambulance transports to area hospitals and allow us to seek a better community risk rating to help lower homeowner insurance premiums.Here are the numbers:The RFA would fund emergency services for all property owners at $1.05 per $1,000 of assessed property value.Camas &ndash; A $862,000* home is considered the average for Camas. In 2026 under the current system, property owners would pay approximately $0.73 per $1,000. If the RFA is approved by voters, Camas plans to reduce its general property tax levy by $0.60 per $1,000 in the same year. This means property owners would pay an additional $0.45 per $1,000 for fire service. That cost would be approximately $387.90 per year/$32.33 per month for fire service in 2026.Washougal &ndash; A $583,000* home is considered the average for Washougal. In 2026 under the current system, property owners would pay approximately $0.88 per $1,000, which includes a $0.07 per $1,000 temporary levy. If the RFA is approved by voters, Washougal plans to reduce its general property tax levy by $0.81 in 2026 and $0.07 in 2027 when the temporary levy expires. This means property owners would pay an additional $0.24 per $1,000 ($139.92 per year/ $11.66 per month) for fire service in 2026. In 2027, that amount would be reduced to $0.17 per $1,000 ($99.11 per year/ $8.26 per month) when the temporary levy expires.<ul><li>*Calculations are the average assessed value of homes and not market value.</li><li>All amounts are estimated based on current data as of 2025. </li><li>The difference in cost increases between the cities is based on funding formulas from the interlocal agreement.
