The session provides a chance for the community to hear from subject matter experts, learn about the details of the proposal, and ask questions before casting their votes
Residents of Washougal are invited to attend the last informational session about the proposed Regional Fire Authority (RFA), which will be on the ballot during the special election on April 22, 2025. This session provides a chance for the community to hear from subject matter experts, learn about the details of the proposal, and ask questions before casting their votes.
An RFA is an independent agency to provide fire/EMS with one governing board representing residents in both cities collectively. The RFA would offer a higher level of service for residents, streamline operations, and provide a fairer and more cost-effective funding model for fire and emergency medical services.
Details:
- Tuesday, April 8, 2025 – Port of Camas-Washougal, 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Joint info session with City of Camas)
