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.
This morning in Gladstone, initial reports indicated a possible victim trapped inside a structure fire, and our union firefighters immediately went into rescue mode. In this job, our number one priority is life. When there is a fire and someone is believed to be inside, everything we do is focused on finding and saving them. That is exactly what the guys and gals of local 1159 did today, conducting rapid primary and secondary searches. Thankfully, no victims were found, but the response reflects the commitment we make every day: when you need help, we are coming for you.

Today, Clackamas County Professional Firefighters Local 1159 teamed up with the Clackamas County Police Officers Association for a “Battle of the Badges” Blood Drive at the CCPOA Union Hall in Milwaukie. Friendly competition aside, the real win is helping save lives and supporting our community when it needs it most. Thank you to everyone who came out to donate and show what public safety working together truly looks like.

Our thoughts are with his brothers and sisters on Truck 5, B Shift, and all who had the honor of serving alongside him. Rest in peace, Jeremiah.

Leaders and members of IAFF Local 1159 were proud to attend the 2026 Oregon State Firefighters Council Education Conference in Salem, joining more than 200 union leaders and firefighters from across the state. Representing five of our six shops, Clackamas Fire, Lake Oswego Fire, Canby Fire, Molalla Fire, Aurora Fire, and Estacada Fire, our members came together to learn, collaborate, and strengthen our voice. This conference is about building better leaders, sharing knowledge, and standing united for our profession and the communities we serve. We are proud to learn, and stand shoulder to shoulder with firefighters from every corner of Oregon.
