Our District has 22 fire stations, an administration office, a training facility, and two fire prevention offices (North and South).

Citizens served by TVF&R benefit from the services of a large metropolitan fire department, while paying one of the lowest fire-protection tax rates in the region. TVF&R receives almost its entire funding from property taxes. This funding comes through a permanent tax rate and temporary funding sources such as local option levies and general obligation bonds.

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors and managed by professional staff. One of the District's hallmarks is a commitment to think and operate like a private business. Examples include: employing innovative emergency scene tactics, offering services to neighboring agencies to generate revenue and off-set business costs, and implementing non-traditional staffing based on incident data.

In August 2002, TVF&R was accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation, International (CFAI).  This requires internal and external evaluation to ensure we are meeting internationally recognized performance standards. Accreditation News Release
