Welcome To Molalla Fire District
Welcome to Molalla Fire District. We’re comprised of 14 full time career staff, one administrative assistant, and a Fire Chief. We respond to approximately 2800-3000 calls for service each year. We provide our services from 3 stations strategically situated throughout our response area. 2 stations (Sawtell/Mulino) are volunteer stations and our career personnel respond from our main station in Molalla. We also provide ambulance services to our Fire District, in addition to the neighboring districts of Colton Fire District, Clackamas Fire District and a small portion of Monitor Fire District.
It would appear that winter is upon us. With that, may of us are turning up the heat for the first time. We ask that you first check some of these things:
- All Heating Types
- Use heating equipment that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
- Keep things that burn such as paper, curtains, bedding, or furniture, at least three feet away from all heating equipment, including fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stoves.
- Keep a three foot “kid and pet free zone” around all heating equipment.
- Heaters
- Use newer, portable space heaters with an automatic shut-off so if they’re tipped over, they will shut off.
- Clean them each year before using and check for product recalls.
- Unplug portable space heaters when not in use, before going to bed, or when leaving the room.
- Make sure fuel-burning heaters are designed for indoor use, and are properly ventilated.
- Wood and Pellet Burning Heating Equipment (fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves)
- Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a qualified professional.
- In wood stoves and fireplaces, burn only dry, seasoned wood. In pellet stoves, burn only dry, seasoned pellets.
- Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from escaping.
- Place ashes in a metal container, soak with water, and keep them at least 10 feet away from the home or anything that can burn. Dispose of the ash only after it is cool.

Cooking fires, any guesses on what rank they are on causes of house fires in America?
You guessed it... number 1
Keep your cooking areas clear of any combustibles,
Never leave cooking unattended,
Have a lit or cookie sheet handy to smother any fire,
and create a 3-foot kid and pet-free zone.
Do not put water on grease or oil fires, remove from the heat and smother with lid or cookie sheet
Just wanted add a funny photo that relates to this topic. Here is an example of how NOT to BBQ.. Lol
Fire safety is so important.. I wish it was required learning.
Great info I will use
More fire facts...
The 2nd leading cause of house fires in America is heaters.
Please don't leave the room or go to sleep when they are on. Inspect your heater and only use heaters that have safety switches that turn the heater off if it falls over.
Do you know what the 8th leading cause of house fires is in America?
Candles
We like the smell of candles too, but please give them space when you have them lit, and blow them out when you leave the house or go to sleep.
If you have a wood burning fireplace, please burn seasoned and dry firewood. Burning wet unseasoned wood will cause a build up of highly flammable residue in your chimney that could cause a fire. As much as we love our community, we would hate to have to meet you that way. Please have your chimney cleaned and inspected every year.
