Professional Firefighters of Clackamas County
International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) - Local 1159
The Professional Firefighters Association of Clackamas County is an International Association of Fire Fighters AFL-CIO affiliate Local. Local 1159 represents over 335 firefighters and paramedics from Canby Fire District #62, Clackamas Fire District #1, Estacada Fire District #69, Gladstone Fire Department, Lake Oswego Fire Department, Molalla Fire District #73 and Sandy Fire District #72. Our mission is to ensure that all members are treated fairly and equally focusing on wages, hours, working conditions, retirement securities and safety. It is our goal to improve the standard of living for our members, families and communities we serve.
Opportunities like this don’t come around often.
Thanks to a donated home with a tile roof, something our members rarely get to train on, crews were able to get valuable, hands-on reps practicing vertical ventilation on a tile roof. Training like this matters. It’s one thing to talk through a skill, but actually being able to work the roof, and problem-solve in real time was invaluable.
These drills sharpen technique, build confidence, and make sure that when the real call comes in with a tile roof, our members have already done it before.

Please join IAFF Local 1159 in welcoming four of our newest members from @canbyfire — H. Matlock, W. English, C. Vian, and E. Steward. After completing 1,280 hours of rigorous firefighter and medical training through CFD Training Academy #25-01, they graduated on December 31, 2025, and were officially sworn in on January 21, 2026. Those hours represent long days, hard work, and a commitment to doing this job the right way. They’re now out serving the Canby community while continuing to meet additional training benchmarks during probation. Local 1159 is proud to have you in our local.

Last night was the 6th annual Battle of the Badges, and it was awesome to see so many Local 1159 members out showing support. The cops may have come out on top (with a little help from the fans), but the real win was the cause and the community coming together.
Together, we raised over $5,500 for Share the Love, and six years in, the energy just keeps getting better. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, cheered loud, and gave generously to make it such a fun and meaningful night.
We’re proud to stand alongside our partners from Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, Clackamas County Fire, and Gladstone Police Department. Thank you to Share the Love for all the incredible work you do and for letting us be a part of it.
