Our deepest condolences to the Anderson family and our brothers and sisters at Marion County Professional Firefighters Local 2557. Our hearts break for your loss.Tragically, our brother, Captain Michael Anderson, passed away off-duty on September 2nd, 2026. Captain Anderson served the citizens of Marion County Fire District #1 for over 20 years and still had many more ahead of him. He was known on shift as a respected, honorable, and truly enjoyable person to be around. He knew how to make a whole room laugh, with a single look. He offered heartfelt advice to firefighters, new dads, and upcoming captains in training. He leaves behind a beautiful family, his wife and three daughters. Please consider donating to help them during this unimaginable time. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
Mike's Local 2557 brothers and sisters would also like to thank the outpouring of support they have received from the first responder community. It is extremely significant in the way the fire service family pulls together in times like this. Stay safe everyone. We love you Mike.
Captain Anderon's funeral service details will be shared at a later time.

IAFF Local 1159 is proud to stand with Representative Matt Bunch of House District 51.I’m proud to announce that I’ve been endorsed by of both the Clackamas County Firefighters and the Oregon State Council of Fire Fighters.
There is no greater responsibility of government than keeping our communities safe. Every day, firefighters and first responders put their lives on the line to protect our families, respond to emergencies, and help our neighbors on some of their most difficult days. Their support means a great deal to me.
As your State Representative, I believe we need to stand behind the men and women who stand ready to protect us. That means making sure our first responders have the staffing, equipment, training, and resources they need, while also addressing the challenges of recruiting and retaining qualified public safety professionals.
This is especially important in House District 51, where firefighters serve communities that range from growing cities to rural areas to forests and face everything from medical emergencies and structure fires to wildfires and natural disasters.
I’m grateful to the Clackamas County Firefighters and the Oregon State Council of Fire Fighters for their trust and endorsement. I’ll continue working in Salem to strengthen public safety and make sure the people who keep Oregon safe know that we have their backs.

Congratulations to Local 1159 member Spencer Lambing on a happy and healthy retirement!
After 38 years of dedicated service Clackamas Fire Spencer is moving on to bigger and better adventures and officially joins the ranks of our retirees.
For four decades, Spence has been a model of consistency, dedication, and commitment to the job and, more importantly, to the people he worked alongside. His unmistakable laugh, his big personality, and his ability to bring energy and life into any room will be missed around the firehouse.
Spencer has always had a true passion for living life to the fullest. Whether it was on the job, as a Boy Scout leader, giving tours at the Evergeen Aviation museum, with his coworkers, or with his family, he gave everything he had. He’s not only been a great firefighter and coworker, but an incredible husband and father to his wife and two sons.
Congratulations, Spence! We wish you a long, happy, healthy retirement filled with plenty of laughs, great memories, and new adventures.
