Fire suppression priorities are the safety and protection of life, incident stabilization and property preservation. The Parkdale Fire District is comprised of 40 square miles in the Parkdale, Mt. Hood and Dee areas. All paid and volunteer personnel regularly participate in suppression training, fire safety, rescue operations, emergency medicine, and other fire-related training and educational programs. Personnel are trained and equipped to respond to structure, vehicle and wildland fires within our district and surrounding areas.
