About TVF&R

Services

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue provides fire protection and emergency medical services to approximately 542,524 residents inTVFR Service Area Map one of the fastest growing regions in Oregon. Our 390-square-mile service area includes the cities of Beaverton, Durham, King City, Newberg, North Plains, Rivergrove, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin, West Linn, and Wilsonville, and unincorporated portions of Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill counties. 

TVF&R is a subcontract provider of transport services to AMR in Clackamas County. We also transport patients in Washington County when ambulance levels are low. With the expansion of services into Yamhill County, TVF&R assumed the responsibility of the Newberg Ambulance Service Area (ASA), which includes all 911 emergency ambulance transports and non-emergent ambulance transports within the ASA.

Facilities

Our district has 28 fire stations staffed by more than 442 career firefighters, a volunteer fire station, a Command and Business Operations Center, a training facility, a South Operating Center, and a Logistics Service Center.

Residents served by TVF&R benefit from the sophistication, economies of scale, and resources of a large fire district with the accessibility and community involvement of a small-town fire department. TVF&R receives almost its entire funding from property taxes. This funding comes through a permanent tax rate and temporary funding sources such as a local option levy and general obligation bond.

Resources

Board of Directors 

TVF&R 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.
