Fire Chief John Nohr will present information about CCFR and will answer questions about the recruiting and hiring process
With the recent passage of an Emergency Medical Services levy, Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue (CCFR) will need to fill up to 25 new emergency responder positions. To help get the word out, CCFR will hold a Career Day/Open House on Sat., Aug. 27 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.. The event will take place at CCFR Fire Station 21, located at 911 N. 65th Avenue in Ridgefield.
CCFR personnel will be on hand to talk about the services the agency provides, including emergency medical response, fire suppression, technical rescue, water rescue, marine response, and community risk reduction/fire prevention. Emergency apparatus (fire engine, ladder truck, fire boat, water tender, brush unit) and equipment will also be on display.
Fire Chief John Nohr will present information about CCFR and will answer questions about the recruiting and hiring process at the top of each hour. These information sessions will also be broadcast on Zoom (at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81686320305?pwd=SVlweWJKbzB6aEVtVXZhc2hsT2FYZz09 Meeting ID: 816 8632 0305 Passcode: 344462)
“We are thankful that our communities recognize the value that emergency services contribute to a higher quality of life“ said Fire Chief John Nohr. “EMS incidents make up 70% of our responses. Ensuring that our residents receive the best possible prehospital response and care is a critical part of our mission. The EMS levy will allow CCFR to place the right resources at the patient’s side at the right time with the necessary support to ensure that you or a loved one is receiving Advanced Life Support care with trained paramedics and EMTs.”
