Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue provides fire protection and emergency medical services to approximately 440,000 citizens in one of the fastest growing regions in Oregon. Their 210 square mile service area includes nine cities and unincorporated portions of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington County. Their district has 21 fire stations, a command and business operations center, a training facility, and three integrated operating centers (North, Central & 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.
