Hoodland Fire

🚒🏗️ Our New Fire Station is Taking Shape!

Things are really coming together at the site of our new Hoodland Fire Main Station, and we're excited to share another look at the progress!

What was once an empty construction site is now beginning to look like a fire station! Walls are going up, rooms are taking shape, and the apparatus bays are becoming a reality. From the future living quarters and offices to the training spaces and areas dedicated to our Mt. Hood National Forest- US Forest Service partners, it's exciting to see the plans come to life!

A big thank you to INLINE Commercial Construction, Mackenzie, Otak, and all the hardworking crews and subcontractors helping bring this project to life. 👷‍♂️👏

And of course, thank you to our Hoodland community! ❤ Your support is making this investment in the future of emergency services possible. We're looking forward to the day we can welcome you through the doors!

📸 Take a look at the latest progress photos! We'll continue sharing updates as construction moves forward.

Riddle us this, Riddler.

Colder nights are ahead and many of us are pulling out a heater for the first time this fall. It is important to be safe when heating your home. It's the number two cause of home fires in Oregon.
