Today, visited Grant Watts Elementary school for a book reading event. As part of Women's History Month, SRFD members read "Molly, By Golly!" to 2nd grade students.

The story is about Molly Williams, who was the first known female firefighter, as well as the first known African American firefighter in the United States. The books tells her story of being a slave of the New York City merchant Benjamin Aymar in the early 1800s. She went on to be affiliated with the Oceanus Engine Company, #11 in lower Manhattan.

As part of the Scappoose Fire District's Junior Fire Marshal program, students were given a copy of this book to take home to add to their at-home libraries.

This weekend, participated in a Maritime Fire Service Boat Operator course. Firefighters were trained how to navigate water ways, operate Fire Boat 43, rescue maneuvers and man overboard drills. During this training, Scappoose Fire District received a call for a marina fire reported at McCuddy’s Marina. Our fire boat operators got the opportunity to get some real-world experience with an emergency response. Firefighters were able to arrive to the scene, make entry to the floating home and mitigate a small fire. Luckily, there was little damage to the home. Firefighters remained on scene to assist with ventilating the smoke within the home and wait for the homeowner to arrive.

Scappoose Fire District would like to remind our community to keep combustibles away from ignition sources. We are happy to serve our community and ready if you ever need us. Stay safe!

JOINT STATEMENT FROM COLUMBIA COUNTY FIRE AGENCIES

On Saturday February 21st, leaders from every fire agency in Columbia County
