South Shore Fire Station

Situated on South Shore Boulevard, this is the oldest of the Lake Oswego Fire Stations still in active service. Built in 1971, the station originally shared space with Lake Oswego Communications (LOCOM) which was later moved to city Hall. The station staffs Paramedic Engine 212 with nine career personnel that work three separate 24 hour shifts. Each shift has a company officer (a lieutenant), an apparatus operator, and a firefighter. The station serves the neighborhoods south of Oswego Lake to the Tualatin River and east from Marylhurst University to Blue Heron.  Station 212 also houses Rescue Boat (Boat-212) which provide water rescue as part of the water rescue consortium.
