Frank Billington and his family will have to be moved out of the home they lived in for the last seven years by Saturday. Once that happens, East County Fire & Rescue will have one less fire station.
Since the Billingtons moved into their home in the Bear Prairie neighborhood of Washougal, the house has also operated as Station 96.
