Fireboats of Portland, Oregon

The Portland Fire Bureau of the city of Portland, Oregon owns and operates Fireboats in Portland, Oregon.

In 1973 the Fire Bureau had the responsibility for patrolling the harbor transferred to it from the Police Bureau. The Karl Prehn and the L.V. Jenkins were added to the fleet at that time. These smaller vessels were equipped for both firefighting and constabulary duties. The Bureau maintained seven vessels in the 1970s—its largest extent.
