Are those Portland Companies?

The City of Gresham, Oregon provides Fire and Emergency Services for the residents living in Fairview as well as other neighboring cities. Gresham has seven fire stations, including one shared with Portland Fire and Rescue and two that are physically located in Portland. Portland must have responded as mutual aid. Engines from both Gresham and Portland appear in the video above.
 
Units in the 70's are Gresham, 300's are commercial ambulance, and the rest are City of Portland.
A couple of the border companies are/were alternatively staffed - Portland personnel or Gresham personnel on alternating days.
 
Narrow street - no room left for a ladder company to get in there, tower ladder needed. To knock down main body of fire. Engine 30 grabs 1-3/4” line and makes interior attack. I love the commitment and the aggressive interior mindset…. But that is not what is initially called for here . The deck gun from engine 30 should have been deployed immediately to knock down main body of fire and slow down extension to exposures 2 and 4. Too often we get caught in the same routine - often due to a lack of serious fire duty. Videos like these are excellent for helping officers, especially new officers build a mental toolbox and develop options for various structural Fire jobs.

Thank you any pictures of the apparatus like the Rehab Units, S1, S12 and VA6 and VA8?
 
Fire Station 31 became a Portland station in 1985 after Multnomah County Fire District 10 consolidated with Portland Fire.

With the possibility of the station being closed down in 2003, an agreement was struck between the cities of Portland and Gresham allowing the station to remain open and staffed by both agencies. Initially Portland members staffed the station seven months of the year, and Gresham the remaining five. Later this staffing model was changed to Portland firefighters staffing two of the three shifts and Gresham firefighters staffing the third shift. This station is unique among Portland fire stations as the only station that is shared with a neighboring fire agency.
