A busy few days
FWBFD has been busy lately with 3 building fires on the "B" and one on the "C"

T-6 had a small contents fire off of Wright Ave, luckily the occupant was able to knock down the fire in the kitchen before it got out of control. That same day E-7 assisted OCW with a rash of suspected arson fires in a mobile homes in 1 district.

On the "C" T-6 responded  35 NE Oregon Dr for a report of heavy smoke in the structure by a resident. Upon their arrival they found the house to charged with smoke but no fire. A fire by the fish tank had flared up and luckily the tank water doused the fire but it continued to smolder.

We will also post pictures from the Firehouse run shortly, it was  a great success, thanks to all of you who participated!

Check back soon for updates!

"Sticker club"

Please remove all IAFF markings from your vehicle when selling, trading-in, etc. The IAFF logo is universally known and respected and identifies both them and their family members as part of an elite profession and connected to Organized Labor.

IAFF decals and emblems should not be given or sold to any individuals or non-family members who are not IAFF members. What you perceive to be a friendly gesture may be viewed by a police officer as illegal. Police in some states have interpreted the displaying of an IAFF or fire department logo by individuals who are not firefighters or the immediate family member of a firefighter as impersonating a firefighter, which is illegal in most states.


DO THE RIGHT THING.  REMOVE IAFF DECALS WHEN DISPOSING OF A MOTOR VEHICLE IN ANY WAY.
