News Release from: Hillsboro Fire and Rescue
HILLSBORO FIRE PIOS TO SERVE WASHINGTON CO FIRE DIST 2 - NEWS ADVISORY
Posted: November 8th, 2012 11:03 AM
Effectively immediately, Hillsboro Fire Department (HFD)Public Information Officers will be responsible for media relations for Washington County Fire District #2 (WCFD2) as well as for City of Hillsboro fire, EMS and rescue incidents. All inquiries for incident, operational and policy information should be routed to the Hillsboro Fire PIO pager number 503-615-6666. Since we have a lead PIO and several backup PIOs, the use of the pager remains the fastest way to receive a call back.
This change is the result of a contract entered into by WCFD2 and HFD to provide administrative and operational supervision of WCFD2's operations. The policy bodies for each organization have approved this agreement. Essentially, the Hillsboro Fire Chief is now the Fire Chief for WCFD2 following the retirement of WCFD2's Chief Dennis England on November 1, 2012.
Please update your contact lists and pass along this advisory to reporters, assignment editors, and managers. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Storm Smith, Public Information Officer/Acting Fire Prevention Manager at Hillsboro Fire Department, 503-681-6141 or page 503-615-6666.
