Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue is looking for more volunteers to help bolster its ranks. Rob Torrey, who recently joined MCFR in a four-year grant-funded position to be in charge of volunteer recruitment and retention, says their numbers are low right now. Torrey says they only have eight volunteers right now, and would like to see MCFR get that number up to 20, adding low numbers is a problem for most fire departments. He’s hoping increased outreach can bring in more people. Those who would like to volunteer with Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue can call 541-296-9445.
