Earlier this week we had a chance to serve a feathered community member. This baby heron was spotted on the street — not a great place to be for a fledgling! The little fella probably tumbled out of a nearby nest. CFD carefully collected the baby and took him to Chintimini Wildlife Center for assessment. Here for you 24-7, 365 days a year, feathers or no feathers!

Corvallis Fire Department Completes Wildfire Risk Reduction Project in Rural Community

The Corvallis Fire Department has successfully completed a community wildfire risk reduction project serving a manufactured home community within the Corvallis Rural Fire Protection District, funded through an Oregon State Fire Marshal Community Wildfire Risk Reduction (CWRR) grant.

The project focused on reducing wildfire risk by clearing debris from roofs and gutters, trimming vegetation, and improving emergency access. Work was completed the week of March 16, 2026, by a contracted crew, and grant funds of up to $80,000 were fully utilized.

"This project is a great example of what's possible when a fire department, state agency, and community work together toward a common goal," said Emergency Manager Sierra Anderson. "This community took a real step toward protecting their homes and their neighbors, and we were glad to be part of that effort alongside them."

The project was made possible through the State Fire Marshal's CWRR grant program, which supports local efforts to reduce wildfire risk across Oregon communities.

Getting Better! One day at a time!

Last week, the Corvallis Fire Department had the honor of hosting Dr. David Griffin for two days for a powerful and impactful training: “In Honor of the Charleston 9: A Study of Change Following Tragedy.”

Dr. Griffin, an internationally recognized leader in organizational learning and cultural change, shared firsthand experiences from the June 18, 2007 Charleston furniture warehouse fire, where nine firefighters lost their lives. His perspective challenged us to reflect on our own operations, culture, and commitment to getting better every day.

At CFD, this training is a reflection of who we are. We are building and reinforcing a culture that prioritizes growth, accountability, and continuous improvement. That culture shows up in big ways, like bringing nationally recognized speakers to Corvallis, and in small but meaningful ways like our A-Shift crews showing up early, cooking breakfast, and preparing to learn together.

Training is not something we do occasionally it’s part of our identity.

We are grateful for Dr. Griffin taking the time to be here, and for the partnership of the many agencies who joined us. Outside perspectives like this help challenge us, sharpen us, and ensure we continue to serve our community at the highest level.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A coordinated rescue operation involving the Corvallis Fire Department, Monroe Fire District, the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), and the logging crew successfully extricated an injured logger from a remote work site Friday morning in the Alsea Falls Recreation Area.

At approximately 11:35 a.m., emergency crews were dispatched to a reported logging accident in a forested area within the Alsea Falls Recreation Area. Upon arrival, responders located a logger who had sustained injuries during active logging operations.

Due to steep terrain and limited access, the rescue required a high level of coordination between multiple agencies and on-scene personnel. Members of the logging crew assisted with access, scene safety, and initial patient care, while Corvallis Fire Department, Oregon Department of Forestry, and Monroe Fire District personnel worked together to safely package, extract, and transport the injured individual from the remote location. The patient was subsequently transported to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment.

This successful rescue highlights the importance of interagency cooperation and coordination with industry partners when responding to emergencies in challenging environments. The combined efforts of all involved ensured the patient received timely, advanced medical care despite the difficult conditions.

No further information is available at this time.
