Portland is situated on a peninsula in Casco Bay on the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean. The city is named after the English Isle of Portland. Incorporated on July 4, 1786, the city encompasses an area covering 69.44 square miles and serves a population of approximately 68,408. Portland is bordered by the town of Falmouth to the north, Casco Bay to the northeast, the City of South Portland across the Fore River to the east, and the City of Westbrook to the west. Mutual Aid The Portland Fire Department has mutual aid agreements with the Falmouth Fire Department, the South Portland Fire Department, and the Westbrook Fire Department. Department Profile The Portland Fire Department is budgeted for 228 paid, professional firefighters in addition to civilian staff of administrative and support personnel, providing structural firefighting, emergency medical services (EMS), advanced life support (ALS), technical rescue, hazardous materials response, marine rescue, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF), fire prevention, fire investigation, code enforcement, disaster preparedness, and public education to the citizens of Portland. Daily staffing consists of 53 on-duty personnel, in addition, PFD has "on-call" firefighters on four islands in Casco Bay surrounding the city of Portland; Peaks Island; Great Diamond Island; Cushing Island; and Cliff Island. PFD responded to 18,486 calls for service in 2022, the majority of which are medical calls.

In 1787, Portland's first organized Fire Company was formed and was named the "Neptune". More companies followed: "Vigilant" in 1794, "Cataract", "Portland", "Extinguisher", and later the "Alert". Hand Engines came into service starting with the "Deluge" in 1827 and the "Hydraulion" and "Niagara" in 1830. And in 1827 the "Washington Hook and Ladder" became the City's first Ladder Company. In 1831 the Portland Fire department was officially established by the Legislature. With increasing fires the Fire Companies became better organized leading to a numbering system starting in 1835. In November 1859 Portland's "Machigonne 1," a First-size Amoskeag, became the first steam engine in the City. On November 21 it also became the first Engine to respond as a permanent manned piece. A second steam Engine was placed in service in 1861, the "Falmouth Steam Fire Engine 2" and assigned to Congress St. at Smith St., but due to it's weight and mechanical problems it was out of service more often than in service. In 1862 the "Cumberland Steam Fire Engine Number 3" became the next commissioned steamer for the City of Portland and was stationed in the City's West End at 176 Brackett Street. The Portland Co. built the next steamer in 1864, which was placed in service on Congress St. along with Ladder 1 as the "Casco Steam Fire Engine Number 5". The Steam Engines proved very useful to the PFD with Companies requiring only 15-20 men per company as compared to the 60 needed for the Hand Tubs. Even though the Steam Engines were well built, they required mechanically skilled Engineers at the Stations 24 hours a day. On July 4, 1866, Portland was devastated by a fire that destroyed a third of the City. Mutual Aid was received from cities as far away as Boston, Massachusetts as the fire spread through the city. The next morning, 2 people were dead, 1500 buildings, including 3 Fire Houses, were destroyed and 10,000 people were left homeless. The City and the PFD rebuilt after the fire. New stations were built, Congress St. and Market in 1866, and India St. in 1867. The PFD put the Alarm Division into operation in March of 1867. New Companies were formed, Eagle Ladder Co. 2 in 1874, Hose Co. 6 in 1881, Bramhall Ladder Co. 3 in 1883, Chemical 1 in 1892, and 1894 the PFD commissioned Engine Seven Fireboat. The Fireboat was fitted with a steam engine capable of discharging 1,800 GPM, and quartered at the Portland Pier from where it protected the City's busy waterfront. __________________ ‪@Firejobsusa‬ 2024
