North Columbia District
North Columbia District has eight full time employees. Two of these employees work primarily in
the fire program. The district also has 33 seasonal employees that support the fire program. The
majority of these individuals are only employed from June 16 to September 15 of any given
year. A handful of seasonal employees, currently five, are employed for a longer period of time.
This period of employment averages April 1 to November 15. Most employees are qualified as
wildland firefighters only but a handful of others hold a variety of NWCG qualifications such a
single resource boss, task force leader and division supervisor. Due to the fact that the North
Columbia work center is co-located with the region office in Colville, we are often able to pull
permanent staff from the main office to assist with fires as needed.
