Portland Fire and Rescue Update

[DickH]

1) Our name is now officially Portland Fire and Rescue. No more Portland Fire Bureau.
2) Battalion 1 will be added, making 4 Battalions.
3) When station 43 opens (soon?) it will be Sta. 30.
4) Sta. 45 will become Sta. 31. Portland will man it 2 shifts, Gresham will man it 1 shift.

Now Portland station numbers will be consecutive from 1 to 31. One exception is Sta. 21 that will be added in the future.

I always thought the Bureau part sounded a bit odd kind of like the full name of Toronto (Yes, in Canada) own fire police department is "Toronto Police Service".
