New training officer Marc
Reckmann will help the fire
district with recruitment and
training efforts.
“He has opened the door
for everyone to come in when-
ever he’s here to do additional
training,” Benedict said. “He’s
going to be a valuable asset for
us.”
Benedict will continue to
highlight a firefighter each
month for their commitment
and the fire district plans to
work with interns.

have,” board member Linda
Beck-Sweeney said. “I think
we need to keep focusing on
that until we can figure out a
larger plan.”
If recruitment efforts are
unsuccessful, board members
suggested potential next steps,
such as joining another district,
revamping the district’s bound-
aries or changing the fire dis-
trict’s bond levy to make room .
“I think we owe it to the
taxpayers to look at that and
have a contingency plan in
place in case we can’t maintain
the volunteers for this district,”
Smith said. “You’ve got a re-
ally good core to work with. I
just think we need to be pro-
active ... Everyone knows this
area is not an inexpensive area
to live in.”
Board members said it was
difficult to attract young fam-
ilies to Cannon Beach due to
housing costs and lack of a
school.
“That was a huge blow to
us,” board member Sharon
Clyde said.
Smith suggested a future
work session on recruitment.
Beck-Sweeney said the matter
could be part of the fire dis-
trict’s upcoming strategic plan.
More than fires
Volunteers provide ser-
vices to the community be-
yond firefighting. Structure
fires only happen in Cannon
Beach two or three times a
year, Benedict said.
The Cannon Beach fire
district responded to 422 calls
in 2016, most for emergency
medical services.
Volunteers responded to a
wide range of incidents last
year, including motor vehi-
cle accidents, the Manzanita
tornado, injured hikers, bird
rescues, shark attacks, tree
removal, a missing person,
storm preparedness and more.
Volunteers also help at
community events like the
holiday lamp lighting ceremo-
ny and provide mutual aid to
neighboring fire departments
and the Cannon Beach Police
Department.
Benedict said fire agencies
nationwide are responding to
more incidents, many of them
medical calls due to “the age
and health of individuals.”
The Seaside Fire Depart-
ment has had similar prob-
lems attracting volunteers.
The department is taking ap-
plications for new volunteers
until March and Fire Chief
Joey Daniels put out a call for
volunteers in October.
Those interested in volun-
teering and upholding the fire
district’s mission to “protect
life, property and the envi-
ronment” in Cannon Beach,
Arch Cape and Falcon Cove
communities can pick up an
application at the Cannon
Beach Fire and Rescue sta-
tion. Volunteers must be more
than 18 years old and undergo
a background check and inter-
view process.
