Congratulations to - Lieutenant Cerda, Lieutenant Sauter, Engineer Wells, Firefighter Mehringer, and Firefighter Jackson! Earlier this week they were recognized by the Oregon Fire Chiefs Association for their extraordinary actions during a single-family dwelling fire in August 2025 and received a Unit Citation for demonstrating exceptional teamwork during the critical incident. Way to go, Team!

UNIT CITATION

A Unit Citation is a prestigious award given to a group of responders; and in this case members from two separate crews for demonstrating exceptional teamwork in the event of a critical incident. The purpose of a Unit Citation is recognizing extraordinary performance by a group, rather than one individual.

For a high-stakes rescue at a single-family dwelling fire in August of 2025, the members listed below were awarded a Unit Citation.

Congratulations and a job well done to Lieutenant Cerda, Lieutenant Sauter, Engineer Wells, Firefighter Mehringer, Firefighter Jackson!

Thank you for representing Local 2210 so well.

Fireworks are part of the celebration, but they come with real risks.

In 2024, over 14,000 people ended up in the ER and 11 lives were lost. Most injuries? Hands, fingers, and faces.

If you're lighting fireworks tonight, take a moment to read these tips. A few seconds of caution can prevent a lifetime of regret.
