Stayton Fire Chief Jack Carriger

I took the opportunity to snap a photo of Stayton Fire District’s fire chief, Jack Carriger, a couple of weeks ago at the 2009 Santa Cruise. I am huge fan of firefighters, since both of my brothers were volunteers at the department, and the department saved my house last year after it was set on fire.

Firefighters and other emergency responders put themselves out there every day in order help others. I’ll take any chance to highlight them I can get.

Thanks to Chief Carriger for putting up with my taking the photo. I appreciate it.

How about a random yellow fire truck parked in front of the Stayton Fire Department on Ida St.? Because it was there. The title of the post refers to various towns the fire district, which are listed on the side of the truck.

Fill The Boot

Yesterday the Stayton Fire Department held a “Fill The Boot” fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). They held it on the corner of 1st Ave. and Washington St., and had a few trucks out, and several people out collecting donations. It was nifty. I know the International Association of Firefighters is a big supporter More >

Today is Fire Service Appreciation Day here in Oregon. It was recently declared by the state government as a way to bring recognition to the various fire service members around the state.

Fire Department Training Facilities

This is a training facility used by the fire department. Laura Houston at the department was once again helpful in providing information about it and other buildings they use. If I understood her correctly, these buildings are used for live fire training, search and rescue training, stair training, and rope training. I think it’s great More >

Tower Of Power

This is the radio tower outside of the dispatch center behind the fire department on Ida St. I know this because Laura Houston at the fire department helpfully provided the information. Yes, friends, I actually know a wee bit about something I’m posting for once. Be careful — this could be a sign of the More >

(See my Flickr photoset from the fire station!) When I was at the car show and breakfast at the fire department on Saturday, I took the opportunity to take a few photos in the station’s museum, as well as a few other things. I didn’t do much exploring, as there were a lot of people, More >

Ambulance

Today’s photo is of two ambulances (and one random semi truck in the background) outside of Stayton Memorial Hospital. I’m not sure why the sky went wacky in terms of colors… it was just kind of like that (even before processing), although I took it in the middle of the day.

I happened to be out yesterday when the ambulance went by. You can’t really tell in the photo, but its lights were flashing as it was responding to a call. This was taken on Fern Ridge Rd., a couple of blocks from the hospital.

Police Department

I’m not sure when it happened, but I noticed the other day the police department on 3rd Ave. had a bit of a face lift. It used to be one could only see a vague outline of the words ‘police department’… it was so faint, in fact, I didn’t even realize it was actually there More >
