Pendleton Professional Firefighters Local 2296

Definitions:
Fire type calls are a range of calls including structure fires, ground cover fires, fire alarms, and burn complaints.
Medical calls are calls dispatched with a medical complaint.
Other calls include calls for assistance that don't fit the above categories.
Recall is used to backfill our on-duty crew, or an attempt to staff interfacility transfers with off-duty staff. At any point when less than 4 personnel are available recall is sent in an attempt to backfill back to a minimum staffing of 4 personnel. We have the ability to staff two general medical calls simultaneously without needing to send recall.
Level 1 means we only had one staffed unit (Ambulance or Fire Apparatus) available in the City of Pendleton.
Level 0 means we zero staffed units available in the City of Pendleton.

Around 2:30 AM this morning, the fire alarm went off at Mac’s and the Pendleton Fire Department was immediately notified through the alarm system and responded quickly.

A piece of cardboard in the kitchen caught fire after our kitchen hoods were professionally cleaned last night. Thankfully, there was no fire damage to the building and everyone is safe.

We are cleaning up some smoke issues today and will be closed for the day while everything gets cleaned up.

We appreciate the quick response and professionalism of the Pendleton Fire Department, and thank everyone who reached out to check on us.

No resources available 5 times last week. This is going to increase as we enter the busy season.

Your vote by 8:00 PM decides the future of Pendleton's emergency services.

Cast your ballot at the Umatilla County Courthouse by 8pm to help shape the future of safety in our community.

We greatly appreciate all the support from the citizens of Pendleton that we have received over the past months, and we will continue to pay it forward .
