Established in 1952, it primarily provided fire and emergency medical services in the central portion of the county surrounding Hillsboro, including the city of North Plains.

[7] WCFD2 signed a five-year contract with Hillsboro in July 1987 that moved eight paid fire fighters from the district to the HFD and consolidated operations to where both forces responded to emergencies in both territories.

[10] The next year WCFD2 considered consolidation with the then new Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, who maintained the district's equipment.

[12] WCFD2 built the new station directly south of the prior one, building it over four-years to spread the construction costs over several tax years.

The district opened a new fire station in North Plains in February 1998 on Northwest Commercial Street paid for by a $750,000 bond passed in 1996.

[21] The district was involved in possible merger discussions or coordination in training and purchasing in 2005 with all of the fire departments in the western part of the county.

[24] On November 8, 2016, voters in the district voted to merge into TVF&R,[25] with the merger completed as of July 1, 2017.

[27] Communities in the 122-square-mile (320 km2) district were North Plains, Helvetia, parts of Rock Creek and West Union, Laurel, Midway, Farmington, and Scholls.
