The cities of Camas and Washougal are inching closer to an agreement to pay for new positions in the Camas-Washougal Fire Department. At their meeting Tuesday night, Camas city councilors approved an agreement to share costs with Washougal for two new firefighters for 2019. Camas will also fully fund a new deputy fire marshal position in the agreement. Washougal councilors are expected to vote on the same agreement at their meeting Monday, according to Washougal City Manager David Scott. The new firefighters aren’t expected to start until sometime around April, and Washougal will pay about $64,000 for the city’s share of the new hires. When discussions about increasing staffing started last year, Washougal officials weren’t sure they could contribute any funds at all.
