How does a fire district decide when to send help, and when to keep it home?
Our number one priority will always be the residents of District 4, but we also believe in helping our neighbors. First of all, it's the right thing to do and second, because someday we'll need to call on them, too. This summer alone, our crews responded to multiple fires outside our district; near Wallula on Highway 12, in Benton and Columbia Counties, and in Okanogan and Tucannon, all before the Paradise and Hagen Fires even began.
How much we send depends on the size and timing of the fire and what's happening in our own district. As harvest is underway, we keep an abundance of resources here at home, and we maintain a dedicated truck for state mobilization fires so our community is never left short. When our trucks do roll out, they go under strong leadership and with well-maintained equipment our taxpayers helped us invest in.
Thank you, Walla Walla, for making this work possible. Follow Fire District 4 to see how your support serves both our community and our neighbors.
