This morning, at 9:30 am, more than 125 members of the Oregon National Guard departed from the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem trained and equipped to help support the state's comprehensive wildfire suppression efforts. This group, know as NG-2 (National Guard - Team 2) will join the fire lines on the Taylor Creek Fire west of Merlin later today.
This is the second group deployed this year, with 147 members of the Oregon National Guard (NG-1) dispatched to assist at the Garner Complex Fire in Josephine County a few days ago.
Yesterday, staff from the Oregon Department Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) completed a week-long training program for nearly 200 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen who volunteered for the second iteration of Oregon National Guard personnel called-up to help support the efforts of wildland firefighters around the state. 200 members of the Guard were previously trained as wildland firefighters in July at Camp Rilea.
This year the Oregon National Guard proactively trained 400 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen to serve as wildland firefighters in case their assistance was requested by the Oregon Department of Forestry. This training was made possible thanks to federal funds that were allocated at the request of state officials to help prepare members of the National Guard should there help be needed. To date, more than 250 of these trained personnel have been deployed with the others standing-by ready to assist if needed.
The training provided to the Oregon National Guard is the same training required of all public and private wildland firefighters. This training is often known as "red card" training and consists of both classroom and hands-on sessions. Classes include a wide-variety of topics including safety considerations, communications, protecting tribal artifacts, fire behavior, and hands-on sessions such as fire shelter deployment, hand lines, gridding, hand tool work, and related skills. All of these classes combined will allow the citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen to be safe and effective in their work in case they are required this year to help support the efforts of wildland firefighters around the state.
The request for assistance at the Southern Oregon fires was made through an ongoing agreement the Oregon Military Department has with the Oregon Department of Forestry known as Operation Plan Smokey, which stipulates the details of how Oregon National Guard members will be utilized to assist in firefighting efforts. This agreement is reviewed annually by leadership of both agencies with training provided by DPSST at the Oregon Public Safety Academy once the Governor approves the activation of citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen.
The Oregon National Guard has a proven track record of supporting wildfire suppression efforts, from the air and on the ground, around the state in recent years. In 2015, members of the Oregon National Guard assisted with wildfire suppression efforts in John Day and Enterprise. In 2017, more than 400 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen supported Oregon's firefighting efforts (air and ground) at High Cascades Complex (near Crater Lake), Chetco Bar, Blanket Creek, Horse Prairie, and Milli fires.
DPSST's Director Eriks Gabliks said "DPSST was honored to train this dedicated group of men and women of the Oregon National Guard who volunteered for this training program and subsequent fire deployment. Firefighting resources across the state are stretched thin and the proactive training funded by the Federal government means the Guard will arrive faster to provide critical support for the state's comprehensive and coordinated mission."
For more information on the Oregon National Guard's preparation and participation in this year's wildfire fighting efforts please contact SFC April Davis, Public Affairs Specialist, Oregon Military Department, phone 503-584-3807, email il.l.davis@state.or.us">april.l.davis@mil.state.or.us
On July 18, 2018, Governor Kate Brown declared a statewide wildfire emergency, which activated Operation Plan Smokey to make Oregon National Guard (ONG) troops and resources available to the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) as needed.

As part of the State's coordinated and comprehensive wildfire suppression efforts, and thanks to funds allocated by the federal government, 200 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen from the Oregon National Guard arrived this afternoon at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem for a week-long wildland firefighter training program. This 200 arriving at the Academy are in addition to the 200 trained earlier this month at Camp Rilea near Warrenton, Oregon.
Federal funds were allocated, at the request of state officials, to help prepare members of the National Guard in case their assistance will be needed to support wildland firefighting efforts around the state.
The week-long training is being provided by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) and is the same training required of all public and private wildland firefighters.

What is different this year is that funds were requested by state officials, and approved by the federal government, to provide training to members of the National Guard ahead of the need. Gabliks said “this will allow these wildland firefighter trained citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen to be activated and deployed much faster should the need arise for their assistance.”

Lawrence O’Dea DPSST#18924 (Portland Police Bureau) – Revoke
The Board approved the recommendation of its Police Policy Committee to revoke O’Dea’s certification on two counts:

- O’Dea’s Dishonesty warrants an ineligibility period of 10 years (concurrent)
Revocation Vote 14-4-1 / Nays: Marteeny, Teague, Allison, Hering / Abstain: Connelly
Background: Consensus reached by Police Policy Committee that O’Dea’s conduct impacts his ability to be employed as a public safety professional because it violates the Code of Ethics, sworn and affirmed by him, to safeguard lives and property; to protect all persons against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful against violence or disorder. Police Policy Committee noted that O’Dea’s conduct is particularly egregious because as a police officer he is attempted to conceal his behavior and provided misleading information. O’Dea’s demonstrated gross misconduct and dishonesty render him ineffective to serve as a public safety officer.

The Board operates in close partnership with the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST).
The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) implements minimum standards established by the Board for training and certification of city, county, tribal and state law enforcement officers, corrections officers, parole and probation officers, fire service personnel,telecommunicators, emergency medical dispatchers and private security providers.

At its quarterly meeting this morning, the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training (BPSST) unaninmously approved a request from its Police Policy Committee to add the name Ashland Police Officer Malcus Williams to the State’s Fallen Law Enforcement Officer Memorial at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem.
Background: On Friday March 2, 2018 at approximately 7:25 p.m. Officer Malcus Williams suffered a major medical event while on duty and on the scene of a call. Other officers who were on scene rendered aid and summoned expedited medical assistance from Ashland Fire and Rescue. Paramedics arrived on scene and transported Officer Williams to Providence Hospital where the emergency department staff continued to work on him. Officer Williams passed away at approximately 9:00 p.m. Officer Williams is survived by his wife, Ona, and three daughters, Savannah, Georgia and Brooklyn, as well as his sisters Cindy and Amy, who is also a member of the Ashland Police Department. Officer Williams started his career with the Ashland Police Department on December 9, 1996, End of Watch March 2, 2018.
It is the custom of the state and national memorials to not add names during the year of the incident to give family, co-workers, and community members a chance to heal from the loss.
The State memorial honors 183 fallen Oregon law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty since the 1880s. This includes officers from city, county, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies who have served as law enforcement officers, corrections officers, and parole and probation officers. The line of duty death of Officer Williams will sadly bring the number of officers honored on the memorial to 184.
DPSST Director Eriks Gabliks said "The State's fallen law enforcement officer memorial was created more than 20 years ago to honor and remember Oregonians who wear a badge and uniform, and take an oath to serve and protect, and sadly died in the line of duty. Officer Williams name will be etched into a granite wall along side 183 other city, county, state, tribal and federal law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while helping others."
Officer Williams name will be added during the state's annual ceremony in May 2019.

As part of the State's coordinated and comprehensive wildfire suppression efforts,and thanks to funds allocated by the federal government, next Monday approximately 200 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen from the Oregon National Guard will arrive at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem for a week-long wildland firefighter training program. This group of 200 arriving next Monday, are in addition to the 200 trained earlier this month at Camp Rilea near Warrenton, Oregon.
The federal funds which allow this training to occur were allocated at the request of state officials to help prepare members of the National Guard in case their assistance is needed this year to support wildland firefighting efforts.
The week-long training will be provided by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). The training provided to the Oregon National Guard is the same training required of all public and private wildland firefighters. This training is often known as "red card" training and consists of both classroom and hands-on sessions. Classes include a wide-variety of topics including safety considerations, communications, protecting tribal artifacts, fire behavior, and hands-on sessions such as fire shelter deployment, hand lines, gridding, hand tool work, and related skills. All of these classes combined will allow the citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen to be safe and effective in their work in case they are required this year to help support the efforts of wildland firefighters around the state.
In 2015, members of the Oregon National Guard assisted with wildfire suppression efforts in John Day and Enterprise. In 2017, more than 400 citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen supported Oregon's firefighting efforts (air and ground) at High Cascades Complex (near Crater Lake), Chetco Bar, Blanket Creek, Horse Prairie, and Milli fires. Last year, Oregon Army National Guard helicopters dropped more than 700,000 gallons of water.
The Oregon National Guard has an long-standing agreement with the Oregon Department of Forestry known as Operation Plan Smokey, which stipulates the details of how Oregon National Guard members will be utilized to assist in annual firefighting efforts if needed. This agreement is reviewed on an annual basis by both agencies and the Governor's Office.
On July 18, 2018, Governor Kate Brown declared a statewide wildfire emergency, which activated Operation Plan Smokey to make Oregon National Guard (ONG) troops and resources available to the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). At the request of ODF, aviation resources were made available to wildfire crews in Oregon. ONG ground troops have not yet been requested but are now available if wildfire conditions worsen. https://www.oregon.gov/newsroom/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=2828
DPSST Director Eriks Gabliks said, "we are always impressed with the dedication and hard work of the men and women of the Oregon National Guard who support the state's coordinated wildfire suppression efforts. It is our organization's honor and privilege to train these citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen who have served us both around the state and around the world."
For more information on the Oregon National Guard's preparation and participation in this year's wildfire fighting efforts, or to visit the training being offered at DPSST next week, please contact SFC April Davis, Public Affairs Specialist, Oregon Military Department, phone 503-584-3807, email il.l.davis@state.or.us">april.l.davis@state.or.us
