VIDEO: Since 1906, Gresham Fire and Rescue has served its community, which includes their town of around 220 people and four counties. The department is entirely made up of volunteers and recently got six new emergency medical technicians, bringing their total to 17 in addition to 13 firefighters. Rescue Captain Tera Dey said the additional EMTs allows them to be more flexible. Not everybody's available," Dey said. "There's people that work, there's people that are busy farming. We all have a place to be... So we're just not always able to be in one place at one time. So having 17 EMTs available, this gives us the flexibility to be able to take care of those things."
