Last week, President Nate Hon, Vice President Mark Oelschlager, Vice President Andrew Gordian, and Secretary-Treasurer Ben Rolacheck attended the biannual Oregon State Fire Fighters Council (OSFFC) convention, hosted by IAFF Local 1110 in Rosenberg.

At the convention, union leaders from across the state came together to collaborate on the issues that matter most to our members, our big 5: wages, hours, working conditions, retirement security, and safety.

We’re also proud to share that President Nate Hon was reelected to represent the 8th District as our OSFFC State Representative, continuing to advocate for firefighters in the 8th district at the state level.

Last week, members of @iaff1159 responded to a high-risk rescue after a person jumped from a bridge more than 100 feet into a shallow creek near SE Hwy 212 and SE Hwy 224. Crews quickly upgraded the call to a technical rescue, deploying both rope and water rescue teams to access the patient in a steep, challenging environment. Firefighters navigated down the embankment while another’s were lowered with a stokes basket as part of a high-angle rope system to safely bring the patient back up to the roadway. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all responding agencies, the patient was successfully extricated and transported by @lifeflightnetwork with serious injuries. This call highlights the skill, training, and teamwork your Local 1159 firefighters bring to complex rescues in our community.
