Lewis County Fire District 6 has served the rural Chehalis and Adna communities since 1956, when the district was formed following a fire at the Yard Birds site outside the city limits. The first commissioners borrowed $20,000 to buy an engine and equipment, and the district purchased its first engine in 1957.
Today it is a combination department of career and volunteer members, and since launching its Advanced Life Support (ALS) program in May 2001 it has been able to treat and transport critically ill or injured patients. Governed by an elected Board of Fire Commissioners, the district responds primarily to medical calls, with fire, rescue, and hazardous-condition responses making up the balance.
The district hires firefighter/EMTs, firefighter/paramedics, and paramedics, and is supported by volunteers.
