It’s that time of year again! Working smoke alarms save lives. As you change your clocks to fall back one hour, please remember to change you smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries. It literally could save your life!

Working smoke alarms played a vital role in alerting the occupants of this single family Portland home about the fast moving fire early this morning. Thankfully, there were no injuries.

This morning marks the beginning of week 4 for our 15 new recruits who make up PFD Fire Academy Class 2021-28. These men and women are learning the skills and gaining the knowledge to join our ranks. Best of luck to all of you in the remaining 6 weeks of your Academy.
