Oregon Part-Time Firefighters Association

Thank you T-Town Flags for your amazing & hard work! You are an integral partner to help us honor & remember those who have selflessly served the City of Oregon and are no longer with us.

Burning the midnight oil tonight to get hundreds of custom stick flags finished for the Oregon Fire Department for weekend.

Come check out Oregon’s First Fire Engine !

Come see Oregon’s first Fire truck. 1941 Buffalo. Down at the city building for the first annual OPD/OFD car show. Here from 9-2.

First responders in Lucas County and beyond are seeing higher volumes of 911 calls that continue to strain our EMS system and hospital emergency centers.

So when should you call 9-1-1? We ask you to use a common sense approach as well as a few examples listed:

Examples of 9-1-1 EMERGENT situations include but not limited to:
* A medical emergency, such as someone who is unconscious, gasping for air or not breathing, experiencing an allergic reaction, having chest pain, seizures, uncontrollable bleeding, or any other symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
* When there is a fire
* Motor vehicle accident with injuries.

Examples of NON-EMERGENCY situations that a 9-1-1 call would not be warranted include but not limited to:
* Minor injury or illness not requiring immediate help
* COVID19 Tests
* Chronic aches and pains (lasting for a long period of time and/or recurring)

Rest in heaven Chief
