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.
A few weeks ago, Eli, the son of Clackamas Fire Driver and IAFF Local 1159 member Josh English, experienced a serious medical emergency during a swim class. Thanks to the quick actions of his mom, his coach, and the Molalla Fire District crew, Eli received immediate care that saved his life.
Today, Eli is doing great and has made a full recovery. Eli had the chance to reunite with the Molalla Fire crew who saved his life that day—a special moment made even more meaningful because Eli’s older brother, Parker, recently completed his paramedic internship with that same crew.
The English family, who have long been a big part of our Local 1159 family, shared their deep gratitude for the compassion, professionalism, and skill shown by the Molalla Fire Local 1159 members who stepped up for one of our own.
From all of us at IAFF Local 1159, we are incredibly thankful for the teamwork, and dedication that make moments like this possible.

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation in uniform. Many of our own Local 1159 members proudly carry that same dedication to service from the military into the fire service. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to others inspire us every day. Thank you to all veterans for protecting our freedom and continuing to serve our communities.

Today we said goodbye and celebrated the incredible 25-year career of Captain Ami Brown.
Captain Brown’s impact goes far beyond her years of service. Ami's been a mentor, leader, and friend to so many throughout the organization. Her contagious laugh, steady leadership, and unwavering dedication have left a mark on every station she’s worked in and every firefighter who’s had the privilege to serve alongside her.
We’ll miss seeing her on shift, hearing her stories and laugh around the kitchen table, and shenanigans around the fire station. When you worked with Ami, you were guaranteed to have a good shift!
Congratulations, Captain Brown, on a well-earned retirement and an outstanding career. You’ll always be part of the 1159 family. 🔥🚒❤️

Your firefighters are proud to serve the cities of Sandy and Gladstone through contracts for service with Clackamas Fire District.
On this year’s ballot, Measure 3-631 (Sandy) and Measure 3-627 (Gladstone) give voters the opportunity to make those partnerships permanent.

Your firefighters proudly serve the City of Sandy through a contract of service with Clackamas Fire District. A “YES” vote on Measure 3-631 will make Sandy’s partnership with Clackamas Fire permanent — providing:
SUSTAINABILITY – Stable and predictable funding for firefighters and operations as part of a single, combined district.
WILDFIRE RESILIENCY – Improved ability to deploy specialized equipment and professionally trained firefighters in areas at high risk of wildfire.
ENHANCED SERVICE – Ensures Sandy residents receive the same enhanced service levels and available resources as the rest of Clackamas Fire District citizens.
Vote YES on Measure 3-631 to keep Sandy safe, strong, and ready for the future.
