Hello and welcome to the Linn County Fire Defense Board web page. I am Shane Wooton, Fire Chief of Albany Fire Department and have been serving as the Fire Defense Board Chief since Fall of 2021. The Fire Defense Board is comprised of local fire chiefs and chief officers who have authority to make decisions on behalf of a fire chief.
The Linn County Fire Defense Board is charged with several responsibilities. We must elect one chief or chief officer to serve a three year term as Fire Defense Board Chief, conduct semi-annual meetings, develop a fire district service plan to respond with mutual aid forces, maintain liaison with other agencies capable of augmenting or supporting firefighting resources and administer the State Mobilization Plan.
Our goal is to provide the best service to our patrons, assist our neighbors through mutual or automatic aid agreements, and to support the Oregon State Fire Marshal through the Conflagration Act. I am honored to work with such a strong group of professionals who are dedicated to serving our communities and aiding our neighbors.
Thank you for visiting our web page.
Shane Wooton
Fire Chief
Albany Fire Department
