Station 31 - Rockwood
Proudly serving the residents and visitors of both the City of Portland and City of Gresham, Fire Station 31, constructed in 1958, became a Portland station in 1985 after Multnomah County Fire District 10 consolidated with Portland Fire.
With the possibility of the station being closed down in 2003, an agreement was struck between the cities of Portland and Gresham allowing the station to remain open and staffed by both agencies. Initially Portland members staffed the station seven months of the year, and Gresham the remaining five. Later this staffing model was changed to Portland firefighters staffing two of the three shifts and Gresham firefighters staffing the third shift. This station is unique among Portland fire stations as the only station that is shared with a neighboring fire agency. Located at 1927 S.E. 174th St. Engine 31 and Rescue 31 currently respond on over 6,000 calls annually in an area that consists primarily of single-family residences, light commercial and high-density apartment complexes. The werewolf is the mascot of the proud members of Station 31 and their slogan “We do more after midnight” represents the nature of the emergency requests they receive, their commitment to the community they protect.
