The contract to provide fire suppression and emergency medical services to the citizens of Woodland has been in place since 2013. Annexation into the fire district will ensure long-term fire protection and emergency services for both entities while leveraging partnerships with regional agencies. There have been over 20 fire district annexations and mergers in Washington since 2017.

The vote for annexation will take place during the Aug. 4 primary election. A majority of voters in Woodland and in CCFR must vote for annexation in order for the proposition to pass.

For more information, attend one of the virtual town hall meetings or call Fire Chief John Nohr at (360) 887-4609.
