Fire Bureau is usually first on scene for all fire, medical, and other emergency incidents. Fire Bureau keeps all communities protected through a combination of prevention, community health programs, and all-hazard response to fire, medical, natural disaster, and other emergencies. In addition, Fire Bureau acts as an important safety net for those experiencing houselessness or without support systems. This work pushes our vision, in which all communities are safe and protected from fire, medical, and other emergencies. The four divisions of the Bureau—Emergency Operations, Prevention, Training & Emergency Medical Services, and Management Services—share interrelated work and missions, giving critical support to frontline firefighters, community health responders, and inspectors providing essential services to our community. Summary of Budget Decisions • Eliminate one engine from a two-engine station, redeploying 4-on duty staff to the traveler's pool to reduce backfill overtime. Additionally, $2.5M of the backfill overtime will be funded with one-time resources. (-$2.5M) • Reduce two-person Rescues to operate in peak hours, redeploying the on-duty staff to the travelers pool. (-$1.65M) • Reduce budget for apparatus replacement for Emergency Operations (-$1.2M) • One-time reduction in bureau's leave-payout budget due to the lack of a 27-pay period lookback in FY27, which will result in lower than normal retirements. (-$1M) • One-time return of Fire's wellness fund balance that had been carried over for multiple years, preserving FY27 allocation. (-$700k) • Eliminate two administrative positions, impacting reporting capabilities. (-$275k, -2 FTE) • Recognize new revenue from increasing Portland Fire & Rescue's Prevention-related fees (covering plan reviews, inspections, and code enforcement) by approximately 40 percent to increase cost recovery. (+$1.6M) 650

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget • Recognize new revenue federal earmark to fund Community Health Asses & Treat (CHAT). The program is not fully funded and will need to eliminate positions, slowing response abilities. (+$1.5M, -3FTE) 651
