Our Carlton Fire family took the evening to celebrate two of our very own as they said "I do" last night. Some of our firefighters were able to take the evening to celebrate while some remained in town to serve our district. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Vandehey!

Earlier this week, BR-71 staffed by Firefighters Jack Vandehey and Ben Burge, returned home with Task Force 26 after completing a 12-day assignment.

Early this morning, HB-72 with Firefighters Payton Price and Madi Beier from Lafayette Fire departed with Task Force 59 made up of Yamhill County apparatus led by Chief Tim Jech. The task force was requested by the Oregon State Fire Marshal for an immediate response assignment to the Grasshopper Fire that has been burning on Mt. Hood since July 23rd.

While our crews are helping communities outside our area, know that our command staff and volunteers remain ready and available to respond to emergencies and local incidents here at home.

It takes a team to make this happen. We’re proud of our career staff and volunteers who work side by side with some answering calls away from home, while others remain ready here in our community. Stay safe Task Force 59, we’ll see you back home soon!

Wildfire Smoke, Heat & Fire Danger

Yamhill County continues to experience extended periods of unhealthy air quality, high temperatures, and elevated wildland fire danger. These conditions don't just increase the risk of new fires, they can also impact your health.

If possible, limit prolonged outdoor activity, stay hydrated, take breaks in cool, clean air, and check local air quality before spending time outside. Those with heart or lung conditions, older adults, young children, and outdoor workers should take extra precautions.

As we ask our firefighters to take care of one another during these challenging conditions, we encourage our community to do the same. Looking after yourself and your family helps keep everyone safer during wildfire season. Stay aware, stay cool, and help prevent the next fire by avoiding activities that could spark a wildfire!

Yesterday afternoon our HB 72 crew that initially deployed to Klamath Falls as an immediate response resource but was reassigned as a taskforce to Rowe Creek Complex arrived home. Our firefighters put in 12 long days, they came back a little more dirty and a lot more tired. Great work and welcome home Beau, Talen and Payton!

As thunderstorms rolled into our area, it was all hands on deck this afternoon!

While the skies were lighting up, Brush 71 was working to head out the door with Firefighters Jack Vandehey and Lafayette Fire Ben Burge to join Linn County Task Force #26. They are deploying to Pendleton to assist with firefighting efforts on the Hagen Fire. We wish them a safe deployment and look forward to welcoming them home.

Back here at home, our volunteers did what they always do, they answered the call. Eleven members quickly responded as the calls came in, the bay doors went up, and within moments the apparatus bays were empty as crews responded throughout our district.

Whether it's supporting communities across Oregon or serving our neighbors right here at home, none of it happens without dedicated volunteers willing to step up when it matters most.

We may be a little biased, but we think we have one of the best teams around. Stay safe out there, and if you see our crews, give them a wave!

⚠️ Weather Alert–Please Stay Alert⚠️

YCOM Dispatch is currently handling a high volume of weather related calls as lightning moves across our area.

With little moisture accompanying these storms and dry vegetation across the region, there is an increased risk of new fire starts, including grass fires and power pole fires.

If you see smoke, flames, or a downed power line, do not assume someone else has already called. Please report it immediately by calling 911.

Your quick report can help our firefighters respond sooner and keep small fires from becoming large incidents.

Thank you for staying aware and helping keep our community safe.

Yamhill County Strike Team #3, led by Chief Jech, safely returned home this afternoon after being assigned to the East Evans Creek Fire since last Tuesday. Crews spent the week assisting with structure protection, mopping up hot spots, and responding to spot fires to help protect Southern Oregon communities.

Apparatus were quickly deep cleaned, filters changed, and everything returned to service, ready for the next OSFM Conflagration or Mutual Aid request. A huge thank you to our dedicated career staff and volunteers who jumped right in to get everything turned around while Chief Jech organized another mutual aid strike team headed to SW Polk Fire District.

🔥 Fire danger in Yamhill County is currently at HIGH. While our stations all remain fully staffed and ready to respond, the best call is the one that never happens. You can help by avoiding activities that could create sparks, following local burn restrictions, and staying aware of the dry conditions.

Together, we can help keep our firefighters safe & focused on protecting our communities. Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone safe!

HB 7 is enroute with a Strike Team of Yamhill County brush rigs to provide mutual aid to SW Polk Fire District for an emerging wildland fire incident.

The Fire Danger level is currently HIGH. Please be mindful of rising temperatures and do your part to reduce the risk of any additional wildland fire starts over the next several days.

Early this evening, at the request of the Oregon State Fire Marshal, Carlton Fire District's HB-72 deployed alongside other Yamhill County resources on a preposition assignment to Klamath Falls.

Firefighters Beau Moir, Payton Price, and Talen Bailey will be assisting local agencies and standing ready to respond to any immediate needs as fire activity continues across the state.

Prepositioning resources allows firefighters to be strategically located where they can quickly respond to new incidents while ensuring communities have the support they need.

We wish Beau, Payton, and Talen a safe deployment and thank them for representing Carlton Fire District and Yamhill County.

🚒Flashing lights on? Check. Siren on? Check. Big smiles? Absolutely!

Our Carlton Fire volunteers had a blast heading north this morning for the Yamhill Derby Days Parade. There's nothing quite like seeing kids and honestly plenty of adults waving from the sidelines as the fire engine rolls by.

Thank you to everyone who lined the parade route and gave us a wave. Events like these are a great reminder of what makes our communities so special.

We hope everyone has a fantastic Derby Days weekend and thanks for letting us be part of the fun!
