#Yourfirefighters continue to help save structures & slow the spread of fire. Clackamas Fire resources have been sent to the #LarchCreekFire, #FallsFire, #LoneRockFire, & to assist @OSFM’s IMT at the #CowValleyFire. Stay vigilant & report fires early! 📸: Clack. Co. Task Force

Clackamas Fire and other Clackamas County resources were activated by @OSFM to respond to the #Darlene3Fire near La Pine. We sent IE309 with 3 firefighters and a Task Force Leader and aid as part of the Clackamas County Task Force. We wish all crews good luck.

Thank you, Clackamas Fire District voters! On Tuesday, May 16, you passed the Emergency Services Levy. This levy will ensure we maintain our quality of service and response for years to come. It will, undoubtedly, save lives.

With the arrival of warmer weather, we naturally want to open the windows & let in fresh air. Remember these simple tips to keep kids safe: ✔️STOP at 4, & do not open windows more than 4" ✔️Install window stops or guards ✔️Keep furniture away from windows to prevent climbing

Clackamas Fire crews responded to a motor vehicle accident on Bradley rd. in Oregon city. The Tesla left the road at a high rate of speed ejecting the driver who was transported via @LifeFlightNtwrk for critical injuries to the head, chest, abdomen and femur. #hereforyou

We'd like to introduce you to Ila Borders, our new Training Captain. What she loves most about her new job is being in a culture that values its employees & breeds aggressive firefighting. We're grateful to have her as our newest family member. Welcome aboard, Ila!

Some of our neighboring students in Milwaukie visited Gladstone Station 22. We showed this class that firefighters dressed in their gear aren't scary & can help in an emergency. We love sharing what we do & receiving visits to share more! 📸: DFM Capt. Shanklin @CityGladstone

T304 delivered the Easter Bunny in style. Thank you to @OregonTool for inviting us. We enjoyed seeing the smiling faces on all the kiddos and had such an EGG-cellent time! #EasterEggHunt #HoppyEaster #Easter #EasterBunny #egghunt #community #hereforyou

Thanks to @LChavezDeRemer for meeting with Oregon Firefighters at #IAFFLegCon and speaking at our rally to get PFAS out of our turnouts. 75% of firefighters line of duty deaths in 2022 were due to cancer and our firefighting gear is contributing the issue.

Sat down today with @SenJeffMerkley today and discussed how cancer is plaguing our members and our turnout gear is contributing to the problem with PFAS. #IAFFLegCon @IAFFofficial @IAFFLeg

Yesterday, your firefighters worked together with Molalla Fire on a barn fire. Thanks to mutual aid agreements, relationships are strong between neighboring fire districts in supporting one another, especially when we share one common goal: #servingourcommunity. 📸: Molalla Fire

Our hearts go out to Gresham Professional Firefighters Local 1062 and the family and friends of Brother Brandon Norbury
