We are excited, humbled, and honored to once again receive this vital grant that allows us to hire additional temporary staffing during fire season.

This single program has probably had the biggest positive impact on the Oregon fire service in recent memory for many different reasons!

Thank you Oregon State Fire Marshal for your continued support with these funding opportunities!

The Dundee City Council has been working hard through a process to hire our next City Administrator. Through the process, the list of applicants has been narrowed down to four finalists (please see attached for a short bio of each candidate, along with a photo-candidates are in random order).
It is time to solicit the community's input! Your voice is important!
This Sunday (December 14, 2025) from 5:30-7:00 pm, there will be an open-house-style forum for residents to meet these finalists. There will be opportunities to provide your thoughts to the city council on the candidates. City Council members will be present at this event as well.
This event will be held in the community room at the fire station.
These candidates will be going through a formal interview process on Monday, December 15, 2025. The City Council will consider feedback received through the whole process when making its selection.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday evening!

We have recently gone through a re-evaluation with the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The last time we were graded was in 1999.

We are happy to announce that we have improved our rating for residences within 5 road miles of the fire station AND within 1000' of a fire hydrant, which will positively affect many homeowners fire insurance premiums (if your insurance company uses/recognizes ISO). Those living outside of 5 road miles AND within 1000' of a fire hydrant, remain unchanged.

We would like to thank our community for your continued support of your fire department. All of this would not be possible without it!

Milestone night for members of Dundee Fire Department.

At last nights monthly Volunteer Association Business Meeting, four members were voted off probation and to the rank of Firefighter.

FF Cavazos, FF Banks, FF Sedgmore, and FF Harber have worked tirelessly over the last 9-12 months to get through their initial training and our in-house additional training to meet the minimum requirements to come off of probation!

Congrats gentlemen and we look forward to continue watching you grow and learn!

After nine busy days of night shift the Yamhill County Task Force has been demobilized from the Flat Fire in central Oregon and are headed home.

Earlier this afternoon, we deployed as part of the Yamhill County Task Force to this fire.

Heavy Brush 32 (HB-32) deployed with Lt Riley Hamilton (Hubbard Fire), A/O Dallof, and Ff Salazar as the crew.

Chief Hamilton also deployed as the Yamhill County Task Force Leader.

We wish them all a safe deployment and wish them well! See you guys when you return!

As the Cram Fire continues to grow (over 64,000 acres have burned to this point) and challenge the firefighting effort, additional resources are being called in.

Yamhill County has assembled a Strike Team of small brush rigs (“Type 6”) to go and help the efforts. A/O Donahoe and FF Newman are the crew on this deployment.

They will be joining the other Task Force from Yamhill County that deployed a couple of days ago. Stay safe boys! Work hard and represent Dundee and Yamhill County well!

A few hours ago, HB-32 deployed with the Yamhill County Task Force to the Cram Fire in Jefferson and Wasco Counties, for the Oregon State Fire Marshal, as part of the Conflagration Act.

The crew consists of Capt. Jeff Myers, A/O Todd Dallof, and FF Emily Hickman.

Chief Hamilton also deployed to the same fire as part of OSFM’s Green Incident Management Team.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our brother and sister emergency service workers, their families, friends, communities affected by the senseless act of violence carried out in Idaho yesterday.

This morning Dundee Fire mobilized as part of the Yamhill County Task Force to deploy to the Alder Springs Fire outside of Crooked River Ranch.

Lt. Jeremy Nelson, A/O Brad Donahoe and FF Troy Newman deployed on Heavy Brush 32.

Chief Hamilton also deployed to the same fire as part of the Oregon State Fire Marshal Incident Management Team.

We wish them all a safe deployment and look forward to seeing them return when their mission is successfully complete.
