Washington Parish Fire District #8

Washington Parish Fire District #8 Formed in 1994, District 8 VFD was formerly known as 6th Ward Fire Department. We have 25 members, and of those 15 are trained medical 1st Responders.

An all volunteer Fire Department, we were created in 1994 after the formations of fire districts throughout Washington Parish. We cover a 43.7 square mile area, encompassing the Enon, Zona, and Spring Hill communities. We are trained in basic Haz-Mat response, wildland and structural firefighting, as well as specialized rescue and automobile extrication. We provide these services to our customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We strive to keep our rating low so that our customers can enjoy lower insurance rates and improved fire protection.

Blessed to have our First Responders and blessed to work alongside some of the best!!

District 8 just cleared a call for a brush fire threatening a structure. Upon arrival, Units discovered a large brush fire threatening the former Ag Shop behind Enon Elementary School. Brush 1 and Engine 81 were able to contain the fire shortly after arriving on scene and there was no damage to the building. This is a reminder to use caution when burning outdoors due to the lack of rain and drought conditions that are currently in our area. Please don’t leave fires unattended, and don’t burn when high winds are present. Be Firewise!

Our EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) Students are wrapping up class soon, and we’re BEYOND proud of them! We have thrown a lot of knowledge at them, and they are handling it very well! We appreciate their patience with Natalie and I as well, as we are teaching our first class as Instructors. Looking forward to adding them to our ranks of EMR personnel we currently have. Special thanks to Northshore EMS for allowing their employee and our Firefighter Jr King to bring a unit for our skills practices tonight. The students learned how to use a stair chair and how to extricate a patient from a wrecked vehicle on a long spine board and how to secure patients to the board. They also learned how to transfer a patient from the board and stair chair to the stretcher, how to operate the stretcher, and how to load it securely into the Ambulance. They practiced patient assessment and splinting as well, and they learned from several real life scenarios how to handle caring for patients. We are very proud of their efforts!
