Description
The Harrisburg Fire Department serves an area of approximately 86 square miles. This area stretches from the Harrisburg Bridge to Mt. Tom, and 6 miles both North and South of Harrisburg. Highway 99E, Interstate 5, two rail lines, and the Willamette River pass through our District.
The Department responds to over 450 calls each year, and handles situations involving fire protection, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials, water rescue and more commonly, medical emergencies for the residents in the area in which it serves. Calls range from trash fires to house fires; from simple scratches to massive traumas. Harrisburg Fire also provides medical services for football games and other community events.
But it’s not all business. Harrisburg Fire exists to support its community, and its mission is to do that in as many ways as possible, not just fire and life safety.
We participate in various community programs, including the Fourth of July Breakfast, Parade, and Fireworks show. It’s not uncommon to see fire trucks leading parades for out high school sports teams in celebration of district or state championships. You will see our team in action at various school functions, Including Health Fairs, Fire Prevention and giving tours of the Fire station.
We have 3 career staff, a Fire Chief, Training Officer, and Firefighter. We rely heavily on our volunteer staff of 20+ firefighters and EMT’s to provide service to our community of 5,000 citizens.
