11-18-24
The District staff and personnel are shocked and deeply disturbed by the arrest of Mr. Houck. Given the charges brought against him in Hood River County, Mr. Houck has been relieved of duty and placed on unpaid administrative leave. We are cooperating with the investigation and given this is an ongoing investigation it is inappropriate for us to provide further comment at this time.
John Wooten
Fire Chief
A ground ambulance transport in the South Lane County area will cost more than $1,800, and an air ambulance more than $18,000, unless you have FireMed! Health insurance may cover 20-50%.
