Administration

Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue has adopted the Organizational Action Plan (OAP) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the functional management model for both emergency and routine operations. The Chief and Assistant Chief provide all operational oversight to carry out the function of our department and work towards success in completing identified goals and objectives. The support staff provides a critical link to cooperating agencies through public education, marketing, administrative support, monitoring accounting processes, oversight of EMS delivery system and primary interaction with the public and department members.
