As of May 12, 2023, your Klickitat County Fire Protection Disrict #14 / High Prairie had logged 48 runs this year. Again the ma-jority of these incident responses were medical in nature. There were no significant wildfire incidents, however our member have responded to 5 structure fires. We participated with firefighters from Lyle, Bingen and White Salmon and had supporting High Prairie crew members in the initial attack phase of the fire that damaged the Hot Wok restaurant in Lyle. The speed of response and the practiced professionalism of the volunteer fire crews ar-riving to this emergency kept damage and loss to a minimum.
