Hillsboro Homecoming & Festival After attending the parade, Hillsboro Fire presented a demonstration of extraction in the case of a victim trapped in a vehicle. There are many different tools and approaches to take to freeing a trapped victim. The goal is to remove the vehicle from around the victim instead of the victim from around the vehicle. This is to avoid further injury. In this demonstration we used cutters, spreaders (Jaws of Life), an axe, and halligan. |
Station 2 Now Open!
Station 2 officially has a paid staff at it Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. After hours, our dedicated staff of volunteers and off duty paid staff will be in if there is a call! Hillsboro Station One is manned 24/7. Meet your station 2 crew Firefighter Stephanie Jackson and Firefighter Nathan Bieser! This is all thanks to the passing of a 2015 Sales Tax initiative that was overwhelmingly supported by our residents. The following was promised with the sales tax:
1. Provide paid staff at station 2 Monday through Friday.
2. Pay off existing debt! We are proud to announce that the Hillsboro Fire District has officially paid off all outstanding debt which resulted from the building of station 2 and purchase of 2 pumpers.
3. Provide a means for capital improvements. We have already purchased a new tanker (2016) and paid cash for the apparatus. We recently put a new brush truck in service which was paid for by 95% grant money. All apparatus have been placed on a replacement schedule moving forward, with replacement plans going as far out as 2030!
All promises from the 2015 sales tax have been met and we thank all of our residents for their continuing support! We strive to provide the best services possible with our limited budget!
