Crew 30 establishment:

After the historic and devasting wildfires in 2020, Clackamas Fire received a grant from Worksource Oregon and in collaboration with Clackamas Community College, established a 20-person Type 2 hand crew, referred to as Crew 30. This seasonal hand crew responds to wildfires throughout the state, constructing handlines and performing strategic burn-out operations to stop a fire’s progress. When not on wildfire, the crew is involved in fuel mitigation projects throughout the District. Crew 30 members are housed at Station 14 in Boring. The crew has their own building, known as the Annex, with training maintenance, storage, and office space to accommodate the crew’s needs.

Who we are:

Crew 30 will maintain the utmost integrity by always being ready to serve at the highest standard, persevering through the challenges and learning opportunities we encounter. Our compassion will drive us to overcome our struggles and achieve excellence.

What we do:

Provide unwavering service to the protection of our communities and natural resources while committing to the safety of our crew through physical and mental fitness, the embracement of self-growth, and team cohesion. Together, we will mentor and build those who come after us, be stewards of the profession, and leave behind the legacy of Crew 30 as a sum that is bigger than its parts. 

Our values:

• Pride: Enthusiastically working every day to become the best person you can be through determination, hard work, and professionalism. 
• Integrity: Having a high standard and etiquette to better yourself today and into the future. 
• Dedication: Commitment to our mission, the crew, your family, and our community.  
• Valor: Strength of mind and spirit that enables us to encounter danger with firmness.  
• Loyalty: Allegiance to your team; being supportive for no other reason than caring.
