Thanks to the Camano Island Voters, work will soon begin on the improvements and building of stations, purchasing of equipment and construction of a new water reservoir. See below for the projected timeline. Camano residents will be kept informed as the Department reaches "milestones" regarding the Bond Project. Fire department staff are available to speak to the community regarding upcoming projects and how they will meet the bond goals. To schedule a speaker or for more information please call the office at 360-629-3008.
