Sixes Fire was tapped as mutual aid for a house fire on Jefferson Street in Port Orford today, and just as crews were arriving, the Sixes SCARR team was dispatched for a hypothermic patient near Tichenor cove that had possibly been there for two days. Huge shout out to Charlie at the Port of Port Orford dock for coordinating Nick and his dive boat as our backup plan (and thank you Nick!), and also to Mike with South Coast Tours for safely transporting the patient to Dock Beach via tandem kayak. We had the amazing Cal-Ore Life Flight Ambulance crew standing by to treat and transport the patient once they arrived. Thank you to all involved in the successful retrieval and treatment of this patient 🧡

Hometown Heroes 2026 has ended and we think it was the most amazing year yet! What did you think?

This event has grown every year since its founding in 2023 and it would NOT be possible without our amazing community, our local first responders, volunteers and sponsors.

Big thanks to the City of Port Orford for the use of the beautiful new Community Building and helping provide barriers and also to Port Orford/Langlois School District 2CJ for letting us completely take over Driftwood Elementary every year for this event!

Shout out to Coos FPA and ODFW for organizing the fishing derby and our own Lieutenant Ivan Roos for leading the charge helping everyone catch some dinner! Ken, Mark and Wyatt all from Port Orford Fire helped with freezing buckets of Elk River Water and waking up extra early to shuttle water to make the derby possible! Also LaMar Family Entertainment for bringing the incredible bounce houses and to OMSI for such a cool science exhibit! Cody Patterson of Port Orford Fire Department RFPD did a stellar job organizing our growing Car Show portion: Ed Sans with his 1959 El Camino won the Peoples Choice and James Lewis won Best in Show with the delightful 1954 Plymouth Suburban! Russ Redfern won the longest distance traveled with his blue firebird, travelling al the way from Sweet Home!

Medals were given for 1st 2nd and 3rd places in the 5k for Men, Women, boys under 18 and girls under 18; however, in all the excitement, we forgot to get names of the winners! Congrats to all who participated and ran through the beautiful streets of Port Orford!

Joshua Reynolds provided some excellent DJing all day, which we all danced s d sang along to.

We would like to once again give a huge thanks to our sponsors who make this event possible! Please thank them when you see them and support their businesses! This is what community is all about. We hope you all had as much fun as we did and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Happy Independence Day everyone! We will see you at the parade at 11am. Please be safe by following some tips:

- Practice extreme caution with fireworks, some get up to 1200 degrees
- Do not light fires in driftwood piles. Remember-we are in fire season!
- Keep your pets inside and secured to keep them safe from running away from loud noises

And remember, there will be a lot of people in Port Orford today, so use some extra caution and a little less speed while driving through. 🧡

Breaking News from Sixes River Fire: We can officially check one off the firefighter bucket list...

For the FIRST TIME in Sixes Fire history, we responded to the legendary "cat stuck in a tree" call!

The rescue operation included a firefighter who just happens to be a professional tree climber/trimmer, one fishing net, cat treats, a blanket, two giddy Captains, and plenty of encouragement (mostly directed at the cat).

After a careful climb, our firefighter successfully convinced the furry fugitive to come down (with a fishing net), and both the cat and the climber made it safely back to the ground. No lives, limbs, or whiskers were lost in the operation.

At Sixes Fire, we train for structure fires, wildland fires, rescues, medical emergencies... but today we can officially add "cat extraction specialists" to the résumé. Special thanks to firefighter Justen who climbed the tree as swiftly as a squirrell.

Stay safe out there... and if you're a cat, maybe keep all four paws on the ground.

🔥 Congratulations to Pacific High School senior and Sixes River Fire Junior Firefighter, Skylla Larson! 🔥

Skylla was recently selected to attend the prestigious Camp Cinder, an all-girls firefighting camp in Northern California that receives more than 500 applications each year and accepts only 35 young women into its highly competitive program.

During the four-day camp, participants gain hands-on experience in all aspects of the fire service, including wildland firefighting, water rescue, helicopter operations, vehicle extrication, emergency medical services, and much more.

Reflecting on her experience, Skylla shared:

"Going to Camp Cinder was an amazing experience that gave me a lot more confidence in myself. Seeing so many women succeeding in a traditionally male-dominated career while encouraging and lifting up other women around them was incredibly inspiring."

Her accomplishment is a wonderful example of the opportunities available to young women pursuing leadership and public service. We are incredibly proud of Skylla for representing our community, our department, and for embracing this unique opportunity to learn, grow, and inspire others.

Congratulations, Skylla! We can't wait to see where your passion for service takes you next! 👏🚒❤️

Interested in learning more about firefighting? Young women ages 15–17 are encouraged to explore Camp Cinder and consider applying. No prior experience is necessary, and the free camp offers unforgettable experiences, lifelong friendships, and skills that last a lifetime.
