IAFF Local 1159 Mission

Ensure that all members are treated fairly and equally focusing on wages, hours, working conditions, retirement securities and safety. It is our goal to improve the standard of living for our members, families and communities we serve. Local 1159 Foundation Mission

The IAFF Local 1159 Foundation is a 501(c)3 foundation with the mission of supporting academic and athletic

organizations within Clackamas County that strengthen our community. Local 1159 Political Action:

The purpose of Local 1159’s political action is to support public safety and to maintain and improve the health, safety, and security of our firefighters. Our Political Action Committee (PAC) evaluates and recommends specific candidates or ballot measures for endorsement to the General Membership of Local 1159. Our top priority is to keep the men and women of all the fire agencies we represent safe. For that reason, we have been very involved in the electoral process for decades by supporting candidates for office at the local and state level who have demonstrated their dedication to public safety and desire to keep our firefighters a top priority in their administration. The Local 1159 PAC is non-partisan and does not recommend candidates based on party affiliation. We selectively support candidates and elected officials that share our priorities, support firefighter issues, and/or may have a beneficial effect in maintaining and improving public safety and the health, safety, and security of firefighters.

IAFF Local 1159 is proud to stand with Representative Matt Bunch of House District 51.

IAFF Local 1159 is proud to stand with Representative Matt Bunch of House District 51.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve been endorsed by of both the Clackamas County Firefighters and the Oregon State Council of Fire Fighters.

There is no greater responsibility of government than keeping our communities safe. Every day, firefighters and first responders put their lives on the line to protect our families, respond to emergencies, and help our neighbors on some of their most difficult days. Their support means a great deal to me.

As your State Representative, I believe we need to stand behind the men and women who stand ready to protect us. That means making sure our first responders have the staffing, equipment, training, and resources they need, while also addressing the challenges of recruiting and retaining qualified public safety professionals.

This is especially important in House District 51, where firefighters serve communities that range from growing cities to rural areas to forests and face everything from medical emergencies and structure fires to wildfires and natural disasters.

I’m grateful to the Clackamas County Firefighters and the Oregon State Council of Fire Fighters for their trust and endorsement. I’ll continue working in Salem to strengthen public safety and make sure the people who keep Oregon safe know that we have their backs.

Congratulations to Local 1159 member Spencer Lambing on a happy and healthy retirement!

After 38 years of dedicated service Clackamas Fire Spencer is moving on to bigger and better adventures and officially joins the ranks of our retirees.

For four decades, Spence has been a model of consistency, dedication, and commitment to the job and, more importantly, to the people he worked alongside. His unmistakable laugh, his big personality, and his ability to bring energy and life into any room will be missed around the firehouse.

Spencer has always had a true passion for living life to the fullest. Whether it was on the job, as a Boy Scout leader, giving tours at the Evergeen Aviation museum, with his coworkers, or with his family, he gave everything he had. He’s not only been a great firefighter and coworker, but an incredible husband and father to his wife and two sons.

Congratulations, Spence! We wish you a long, happy, healthy retirement filled with plenty of laughs, great memories, and new adventures.

🔥🏃‍♂️ LOCAL 1159 TAKES ON HOOD TO COAST! 🏃‍♀️🔥

Two teams. Nearly 200 miles. One Union Family.

This year, Local 1159 firefighters came together with friends and family to take on the Hood to Coast Relay. From the first runner to the last, it was about more than just running 200 miles. It was about solidarity, being together and supporting one another.

Day or night, tired or exhausted, there was always someone there to push the next runner forward. That same spirit that makes us strong in the firehouse showed up on the road.

Two teams. One Local 1159 family. ❤️🔥
