• Safer homes, safer crews: Making the case for home fire sprinklers (firerescue1.com) — Camas firefighters are using home fire sprinklers to make local neighborhoods safer while also giving builders flexibility to add more lots and narrow streets. Deputy Fire Marshal Kevin Bergstrom explains how trade-offs with developers have led to about 5,000 sprinkler-equipped homes and several documented “saves,” positioning Camas as a national model for balancing growth with fire safety. 
• Washington Huskies land top WA football recruit for 2027 (seattletimes.com) — Camas football fans will recognize the name Braylon Pope, the Sumner receiver whose big game helped beat Camas High 27-24 in the 2024 4A title matchup. He’s now committed to play wide receiver for the Washington Huskies in 2027, continuing UW’s push to keep top in-state talent at home.
