Public Contact Information

Established in 1954, Banks Fire District #13 provides fire and rescue services to 136 square miles in northwest Washington County, Oregon, serving the communities of Banks, Buxton, Manning and Timber. This region, known for its scenic beauty and moderate climate, is mainly rural with close ties to the Portland metro area. Sixty highly-trained volunteers respond to more than 750 calls annually, ranging from Emergency Medical Service (EMS) to wild-land fires.

Because of this culture of giving, Banks Fire District continues to provide emergency service with a committed, highly-trained volunteer and paid firefighting force.
