The Camas-Washougal Fire Department accepts applications of
interest for the position of volunteer
firefighter throughout the year. In January, each registered
individual will receive (via email) an application packet to complete. In
February, the department will administer a written and physical agility test to
qualified individuals. Those who pass the tests are interviewed, and the top
4-6 candidates are sent for a medical evaluation, background check, and
fingerprinting. Candidates who successfully complete the background and
physical are put through a 12 week training academy (Wednesday nights from
6pm-9pm, and Saturdays 8am-5pm). An additional 3 weekend Hazardous materials
class is added at the end of the academy.
