Multnomah County Rural
Fire Protection District #14
Bordered by the Sandy and Columbia
Rivers to the west and north, and by Clackamas County to the
south, our District covers a 40 square mile area of eastern
Multnomah County. It includes parts of the Columbia Gorge
National Scenic Area, Oregon State and National Parks and
forest lands, as well as the unincorporated communities of
Corbett, Springdale, Aims, Latourell and Bridal Veil. Providing
fire, rescue, and emergency services since 1949, we have one
of the largest all-volunteer forces of firefighters in the
State. The Department works out of three unmanned fire stations
located in Corbett, Springdale and Aims, and responded to
a total of 512 emergency calls in 2006.

Comments from our Fire Chief, Tom Layton,
regarding what's happening in our community and in our Fire
Department.
Welcome to the Web Site for Multnomah Co. RFPD #14.
I would like to thank Mindy Schmidt (MSIS)
for all her help in getting this off the ground and running
and a part of the Corbett Web Site. Also thanks to Kathleen
Rieter and Dennis Bryson for their assistance and guidance in
this project.
We hope to be able to provide timely updates on information
and programs by the Fire Department as we continue our mission

This site will be a supplement to our twice a year newsletter
and we hope you find it useful and informative.

Safe Chimneys
When was the last time your chimney was cleaned? Safety experts
recommend having chimneys inspected once a year and cleaned
to prevent dangerous creosote build-up.
Chimney Cleaning services are listed in the phone book Yellow
pages. For the more adventurous, Do-It-Yourselfers can borrow
cleaning brushes from the Corbett Fire Station, any Monday night
between 7:00 and 8:00 PM.
It’s a dirty
job, but somebody’s got to do it – we’ve
got the tools to help! For more information call 503-695-2272.

Address Signs
In an emergency, minutes count. A few minutes later may be
too late in a medical emergency or a fire. The quicker we
can reach your home in a crisis situation, the faster we can
help. Darkness and adverse weather conditions sometimes make
it difficult to identify a specific house or locate a particular
driveway. To make your home easier to find at any time, we
ask that you participate in the Uniform Emergency Address
Sign Post Program. Used in many communities across the state,
the sign posts are all the same color and shape and are located
at your driveway where they will best be seen by approaching
emergency responders.
When you order your sign, a firefighter will come out to your
home and determine the best location for the marker. Long
driveways serving several houses are often confusing, so we
may recommend a sign post with multiple addresses at the road
entrance and a separate sign at the entrance to your home.
We will arrange for an underground utilities survey of the
location, to make sure of a safe spot to dig, and when your
sign has been made, we will install it for you.
Please help us help you. The first step to getting your sign
is to call 503-695-2272, or come to the Corbett Fire Station
any Monday night between 7:00 and 7:30 PM.
Don’t wait until it is too late.
