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.
Last week, members of @iaff1159 responded to a high-risk rescue after a person jumped from a bridge more than 100 feet into a shallow creek near SE Hwy 212 and SE Hwy 224. Crews quickly upgraded the call to a technical rescue, deploying both rope and water rescue teams to access the patient in a steep, challenging environment. Firefighters navigated down the embankment while another’s were lowered with a stokes basket as part of a high-angle rope system to safely bring the patient back up to the roadway. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all responding agencies, the patient was successfully extricated and transported by @lifeflightnetwork with serious injuries. This call highlights the skill, training, and teamwork your Local 1159 firefighters bring to complex rescues in our community.

This week, members of @iaff1159 stepped up once again to serve the community—this time helping a four-legged resident in need. A dog stranded in a dangerous situation was safely rescued thanks to the quick response and skill of Clackamas Fire’s Water Rescue Team. Crews worked efficiently to bring the pup back to safety and reunite it with its grateful owners. It’s just another example of the dedication our firefighters bring to every call, no matter who needs help.
