Hoodland Fire District Main Station 351 must be replaced to ensure the area’s visitors and residents continue to receive adequate fire and emergency services. The current station has outlived its useful life and cannot be modified to accommodate the required needs of a modern fire station. Replacement is necessary because many of the issues with the current station cannot be fixed through remodeling. In addition, the current station property is not big enough for the future needs of our fire district.
The proposed new site for the Main Station 351 is at the former site of the Dorman Center, located on East Salmon River Road adjacent to the current fire station. The community garden will remain on site. The land for the site has been donated by Clackamas County and the District is actively seeking alternative sources of funding, such as grants, to offset the bond amount.
The cost of the new fire station is not yet known and will be determined based on the design. Funding would come from a general obligation bond if approved by voters in the May 2025 election.
