Fire District Investments

In August, the Urban Renewal Agency agreed to spend up to $1,135,000 to fulfill the original $2.75 million 1999 plan commitment to the Canby Fire District over the next four years. These investments will improve Canby Fire District’s fire protection rating and enhance emergency response into the Urban Renewal District. Specifically, funds will pay for:

• $ 515,000 for one Fire Engine and the equipment to replace the existing 1999 Engine.
• $195,000 for one Emergency Medical Unit. This Unit would replace a current Medic Unit which will soon have driven in excess of 215,000 miles. The Medic Unit will be stationed at the main fire station and be utilized for the City of Canby.
• $425,000 to remodel the Main Fire Station. The project includes the remodel of the existing station at 221 S Pine St. This includes all permits and displacement living quarters for the crews while the remodel occurs.

The new 2016 Rosenbauer Commander Fire Truck pictured below will be equipped with a larger pump, better turning radiuses, better ergonomics and large nozzles to help firefighters combat the fires that larger buildings bring us in the URD. It will also access areas downtown better that have been narrowed through URD.
