The Lake Wenatchee Fire & Rescue Fire

District is a special District resulting from a

merging of Chelan FPD4 and Chelan County FPD9.  The District is currently guided by a five-person Board. The Fire Chief oversees two (2) Administrative Personnel, one (1) Assistant Fire Chief, one (1) Battalion Chief, one (1) Captain, four (4) Lieutenants and approximately 30 Volunteer Firefighters.

 

The District covers an area consisting of rivers, valleys and mountainous terrain and services both full time and part time residents as well as a large contingent of visitors. The District is a multi-risk department, which provides the same level of service as a paid fire department, and responded to approximately 281 calls for emergency services in 2017.
