MAYOR'S MESSAGE Firefighter Appreciation Day For 135 years, the Coos Bay Fire Department has stood ready to protect lives, property, and our shared sense of community. From its earliest days to the highly trained, modern department we rely on today, the mission has remained the same: service, safety, and commitment to Coos Bay. One of the strengths of the department is its investment in the future of the fire service. Through its apprentice and student programs, Coos Bay Fire provides hands-on training opportunities for individuals interested in careers in firefighting and emergency medical services. These programs help build a skilled workforce while mentoring the next generation of public servants right here at home. The department also continues to modernize its equipment to meet the demands of today’s emergencies. The addition of a new 100’ aerial truck enhances firefighting capabilities, improves firefighter safety, and expands the department’s ability to respond effectively to structure fires, rescues, and other complex incidents throughout the community. Emergency medical response remains a critical part of what Coos Bay Fire does every day. Coos Bay Fire has 12 paramedics, and the other four are EMT or higher. Firefighters are often the first on scene for medical emergencies, providing life-saving care when seconds matter most. Having that many paramedics on staff ensures our citizens receive advanced care. Beyond city boundaries, the department provides services to Bunker Hill, Timber Park, and the Libby area through contracts. Our fire department supports neighboring areas when resources are stretched or emergencies escalate. In addition, wildland fire response is a focus, training and deploying personnel to help protect lives and property during fire season, both locally and across the region when needed. Service doesn’t stop at emergency response. The department is deeply involved in community support, lending time, expertise, and personnel to assist local organizations and events. From the annual Christmas Tree Pickup, which helps residents safely dispose of trees after the holidays, to participation with the Holiday Lights at Shore Acres, firefighters consistently show up as community leaders and partners. Each year, Firefighter Appreciation Day offers a meaningful opportunity to recognize the dedication, professionalism, and sacrifices made by these men and women. Their work is demanding, often dangerous, and always essential; and it is made possible through teamwork, training, and an unwavering commitment to public service. As Coos Bay Fire Department marks its 135th anniversary, the community can take pride in a department that honors its history while continually preparing for the future. Thank you to all who have served—and continue to serve—in keeping Coos Bay safe. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay Featured News by City of Coos Bay
