White Salmon Volunteer Fire Department

White Salmon Volunteer Fire Department In Action

The White Salmon Volunteer Fire Department responds to about 75 calls per year, including structure fires, brush fires, car fires, rescues, car accidents, downed power lines, medical assists, and much more. The department trains weekly to prepare for emergency situations. Drills include “burn-to-learns” (controlled burns), vehicle extrication, ladders and roof operations, interior attack, exterior suppression, communications, SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) use, and first aid/CPR. These pictures show the White Salmon, Bingen, and District #3 fire departments on calls and doing drills.

Burn permits can be obtained from Fire Chief Bill Hunsaker, billh@ci.white-salmon.wa.us.
