Gaston Fire assisted the Yamhill Fire District at a recent house fire, along with several other departments.

Gaston Fire has added a new pumper to its fleet.

The snow is gone … at least for now ... but it left many driveways badly damaged. Throw in a lot of rain and wind, and things can get really nasty really fast.

Just because your car or pickup can still make it up and down your slick, rutted driveway with its crumbling ditches, Gaston Fire’s large engines might not. That could slow our response to an emergency at your house, or even make access impossible.

Sand and sandbags are available for Gaston residents in the back parking lot of the fire station. Click here for a map to the station. Also, before hitting the roads, check the Washington County Roads Department list of flood-related closures.

The Gaston volunteers and friends from the community gather at the station, with a special guest appearance from Santa.

On a picture-perfect Saturday morning, Gaston Fire volunteers spent the morning spreading cheer through the heart of town.

The holidays are among the happiest time of the year ... and among the most-dangerous if you're careless with cooking or with holiday decorations.
