Community Meeting
Fire Station 21

Disaster Resistant Fire Stations and Schools
| Fire stations are critical to every community. They house our emergency responders: Emergency medical technicians and fire fighters. And schools house our future, including our future EMT’s and fire fighters. Shouldn’t both of these facilities be as disaster-resistant as possible? |
Disaster-Resistant Fire Station
May 15, 2006 - 9:27am — Michael KisorNot long ago an article ran in a local paper, citing a PSU professor of urban studies, which suggested Portland was pretty disaster-resistant because we’re retrofitting fire stations to meet seismic code. Another article quoted an engineer saying that the fault lines running through Portland only produced large earthquakes every 6,500 years or so. Both sounded reassuring, and both had a kernel of truth. However neither told the whole truth, and the devil, as they say, is in the details.
Fire Station 18

Some good news at last regarding Station 18! Please read John Klum's message below:
The Council Resolution was processed last Wednesday so we can proceed with the Station 18 relocation project. The only request from Council was from Commissioner Saltzman for the SAC to have a discussion regarding the possibility of a "Dome" station.
Stephen Keller will be the new project manager for the City. His email is skeller@ci.portland.or.us. He will be setting up the future SAC meetings and will let you know what the duties of the SAC during the design phase of the project will be.

Wait for firehouses burns up more time
Southwest residents expected two new fire stations when voters approved a Portland Fire Bureau bond measure in 1998.
Seven years later, there's no sign of either one.
The Fire Bureau has acquired two sites, but whether there will be two new stations or just one remains to be seen. The answer is expected sometime next year.
Fire Marshal John Klum says the bureau delayed relocation of Fire Station 18, now in Multnomah, and construction of a new Fire Station 21 because of inflation in the construction industry. Both stations had been planned to be built this year. The bond measure included money to cover a 3.5 percent inflation rate. But Klum says many bids were running 8 percent to 30 percent higher.
