==History==
Portland's fire department has its origins in the year 1850 with 37 men to volunteer for the first firefighting company, known as the Pioneer Fire Engine Company No. 1 equipped with one hand pump. On July 29, 1853, the Vigilance Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 was created, consisting of 36 volunteers, and on August 6 of the same year 22 volunteers formed the Willamette Engine Company No. 1 covering the Southern District. While these companies together formed the Portland Fire Department, each company had its own by-laws and constitution, and were in many ways operated as separate entities. On January 3, 1883, the Portland Fire Department, while still augmented by volunteers, became known as the Portland Paid Fire Department. In 1904, the department officially became a fully paid fire department, with the temporary firefighters being paid for their time served. In 1988, the name was changed to the Portland Bureau of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services. On February 16, 2021, PF&R started Portland Street Response or PSR, a program designed to assist citizens experiencing mental and behavioral health challenges. PSR teams are composed of a PF&R firefighter / paramedic, a licensed clinical social worker and two community health workers, or a firefighter / EMT, a mental health crisis responder, and two peer support specialists. The six teams operate daily between the hours of 10am - 8pm. In November 2021, PF&R launched a new community health program to help Seattle citizens who call 911 for medical issues that do not require emergency care. The Community Health Assess and Treat program, also know as CHAT, funded by nonprofit healthcare provider CareOregon, is made up of firefighter / EMTs partnered with non=sworn medical professionals and initially covering downtown and Southeast Portland.
