Community Announcement from the Chairman of the Board, Skamania County Fire District #4 (SCFD #4)

Skamania County Fire District #4 is proud to announce that we have received a grant award of $911,800 from the Washington State Department of Commerce for the construction of a new Living Quarters Building.

This important project would not have been possible without the dedication and partnership of several key leaders and agencies working on behalf of our community.

Special thanks to:
* 17th District State Representative Kevin Waters
* Skamania County EMS and Rescue Superintendent Ann Lueders
* Skamania County Sheriff Summer Scheyer
* Skamania County Fire District #2 Chief Ray Broughton
* Skamania County Fire District #4 Chief Chief Fuller

Construction has begun, with completion scheduled for September 11, 2026. Once completed, the Living Quarters will round out the Western Skamania County Public Service Complex, strengthening our emergency services infrastructure. Housing emergency personnel on-site will significantly improve response times, operational readiness, and professional development opportunities, ultimately enhancing public safety across the region.

We are grateful for the continued support that makes projects like this possible and for the shared commitment to protecting and serving our community.

Two years ago today, we lost CJ Henson, a firefighter, a hero, and a life taken too soon. We honor his service, remember his sacrifice, and keep his legacy alive; today and always. Gone, but NEVER forgotten!

All of us at Skamania County Fire Dist 4 extend our sincere condolences to The Frenz Family and all members of Vancouver Fire Dept on their loss of Firefighter/Paramedic...Jerimiah Frenz. RIP Brother!

The Vancouver Fire Department is deeply saddened to announce the off-duty passing of Firefighter Paramedic Jeremiah Frenz, who tragically passed away on January 13, 2026.

Firefighter Frenz was assigned to Fire Station 5, B Shift, where he proudly served the Vancouver community on Truck 5. He began his career with the Vancouver Fire Department on March 16, 2020, following prior service in Oregon as both a firefighter and a paramedic.

Jeremiah was a dedicated public servant and a revered member of the Vancouver Fire Department family. His professionalism, commitment to service, and camaraderie made a lasting impact on those who had the privilege of working alongside him. His loss is deeply felt across the department and the community he served.

“This is an extremely difficult time for our department,” said Vancouver Fire Chief John Drake. “Jeremiah was a revered member of our VFD team who left us far too soon.”
The Vancouver Fire Department extends its heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Jeremiah’s family, friends, and loved ones. Department members are encouraged to support one another during this period of mourning and to seek support as needed.

Details regarding memorial services or additional arrangements will be shared when available. The department respectfully asks that the family’s privacy be honored during this difficult time.
