We all want to stay warm, but we respond to more home fires in the winter months. Use space heaters and generators cautiously and NEVER use your stove to heat your home! #IAFFsafetytips #BaltimoreFireOfficers #BaltimoreFirefighters

With the ongoing flooding and water reported over several area roads, it's worth reminding folks how dangerous water really is. It doesn't take a lot to sweep you or your vehicle off the road! Even 18 wheelers are suceptible, as we saw this morning along I-84. #orwx #wawx

According to the National Weather Service data, the Umatilla River levels are now dropping. Many Pendleton Professional Firefighters and other emergency crews worked through the night to manage the effects of the flooding. #firefighters #IAFF #flooding @ORfirefighters
