Clackamas Fire partners with Willamette View for Advanced Firefighter Training (Photo) - 03/26/24

Clackamas Fire is proud to announce a partnership with Willamette View, a nationally accredited, not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community founded in 1955. Located on a 27-acre campus south of Portland, Oregon, Willamette View offers a full continuum of housing and health care services to seniors age 55 and over and employs approximately 400 individuals.

As part of Willamette View's campus expansion, several houses slated for demolition have been made available for firefighter training purposes. Clackamas Fire will conduct scenario-based training exercises, including simulated fire attacks and search evolutions, with the assistance of theatrical smoke machines to create realistic conditions. Beginning in April, more advanced training activities such as roof ventilation, window access for searches, and fire victim rescue utilizing theatrical smoke and rescue manikins will commence as the houses near their demolition date.

The partnership with Willamette View presents an invaluable opportunity for Clackamas firefighters to enhance their skills in real-world scenarios. Training in unfamiliar structures is crucial for readiness, and Clackamas Fire is grateful to Willamette View for providing us with this training opportunity. This is enhancing the skills of responding firefighters and is ultimately making our community safer by helping firefighters be ready for the next emergency response!

While the training takes place, there will be an increased presence of fire apparatus and crews in the area. Clackamas Fire advises the public to exercise caution when passing by and to be aware of crews working on the roadway. Additionally, members of the public are welcome to observe the training exercises but are urged to maintain a safe distance and to make contact with on-site crews to ensure they are utilizing a safe viewing area.

The media and the public are welcomed to come and observe the training which will be taking place at 1801 and 1803 Silver Springs Rd. in Milwaukie today, March, 26 beginning at 9:00 am, as well as April 8th beginning at 9:00am.
