COME SERVE WITH US!

Cowlitz-Skamania Fire District #7 is a small rural Fire District. The Fire Chief is the only paid position. The remainder of the staff, consisting of Firefighters, EMTs and Paramedics, are all volunteer. We are located in southwest Washington State, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Our district is on the north side of the Lewis River and its three heavily used recreational lakes. The lakes are each approximately 14 miles long. We are responsible for 54 square miles along the river, two of the lakes, and a small portion of the third. We respond as Mutual Aid on another 100 square miles with neighboring districts.

Meet Logan Caulkins and Pari Bernert. This dynamic dual joined Cowlitz-Skamania Fire District #7 this past year.   

Logan joined the Fire Department due to Chief Huesties knocking on his door asking about an unattended fire. (Not Logans) Logan had no idea we were a volunteer fire department. He signed up the next day. You could say he found his calling since that day. Logan has strived hard in becoming an EMT and taken numerous Fire Control courses. He has quickly become an asset to Fire District #7 from his quick-witted sunny disposition to his willingness to learn anything and everything and always lend a helping hand. 

In his free time, you can find Logan fishing, hunting and hiking with Pari. 

Pari also joined the department this past year. This multi-talented lil superhero has challenged herself by not only being a teacher but became a volunteer firefighter in her spare time. Pari has also taken Fire Control courses, so she’s ready when a fire call alarm rings. 

Pari keeps the other volunteer firefighters happy with her amazing baking skills and bringing in fresh produce from her garden. 

This generous couple is new to this area; we are blessed to have them in our community. Thank you for making a difference in our valley.
