Fire Station 8 – Kenton
Station 8 is located at 7134 N. Maryland in the Kenton community of North Portland and serves the Kenton, Arbor Lodge, and Piedmont neighborhoods. The Station was built in 1959, remodeled in 2004, and houses Truck 8. Truck 8 is technically a “quint” apparatus and has the ability to operate as a fire engine in limited circumstances. Truck 8 carries all required ladder truck equipment as well as hose, fittings, and a 300-gallon water tank (engines carry 500-1,000 gals). Station 8’s response area is a diverse mixture of heavy industrial areas and dense residential neighborhoods. Interstate 5, MAX light rail, the University of Portland, banks of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, and Portland International Raceway are all located in the response area for Station 08.
