Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue has retained its Fire Protection Class rating following a 2024 evaluation by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau.

Fire Chief Scott Goldstein credited the district’s volunteers, career staff, and Deputy Chief Jeremy Huff for their role in maintaining the rating, saying it reflects their ongoing commitment to community safety. The district is scheduled for reevaluation in 2029.
