Some have asked. Other departments are sending crews/equipment to assist with the wildfires, is Forest Grove Fire going to?

Our number 1 priority is to protect our fire response area, residents, homes and/or infrastructure. Not that we wouldn't love to help others, but we are needed here.

That said, a number of our calls this month have been for medical calls.

Sadly retired Deputy Chief Ron Lister has passed away. Many will know Chief Lister from the Forest Grove fire department, instrumental in starting the Canim Fire Department or at the Legion or the Lions. Ron was always one to help out, a true volunteer, giving back to his community over and over.
Any members (past or present) who may have photos of Ron that we can add for the memorial service please forward them to: [email protected]

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who answer two callings: motherhood and the fire service.

To the moms who spend sleepless nights with their children, then still show up ready to serve their community.

To the moms who still find time to train, work out, and stay prepared while giving their families their very best.

You carry the weight of responsibility at home and on the job with a strength that often goes unseen. You comfort others in their hardest moments while still pouring love, patience, and guidance into your own family.

You miss holidays and birthdays, working long shifts, yet your family still knows they are loved because they see it in your actions every single day.

Your children grow up watching hard work, courage, discipline, compassion, and service modeled right in front of them. That example will stay with them forever.

Today, we celebrate the women who protect both their homes and their communities. The moms who wear the uniform carry the responsibility and still somehow find the strength to keep showing up for everyone around them.

You are appreciated, respected, and deeply valued.
