Fire District 3

🌭 At this weekend’s Harvest Days, stop by Fire District 3’s hot dog stand at the corner of Parkway and Main, say hello to your local firefighters, and help support community families in need.

The hot dog fundraiser will be open Friday from 5–8:30 pm, and Saturday from 11 am–2 pm. Just $5 gets you a hot dog, chips, and a drink.

Then on Saturday from 12–3 pm, bring the kids to the Little Firefighters Challenge at Battle Ground High School. They can tackle firefighter-style obstacles, try a dummy drag and take home a firefighter helmet.

We hope you'll stop by and say hello. Thanks for supporting local families in need!

Reminder: Outdoor yard debris burning closes for the season starting Wednesday, July 15. Thank you for helping reduce the risk of wildfires by following the seasonal burn closure.
