Held lifted the man onto the litter, and then held on behind as Rychlick powered the Sea-Doo across the river to Station 21, where the bureau's newest rescue boat, the Eldon Trinity, is docked beneath the Hawthorne Bridge. Tyler said that dock is much more accessible for ambulances than any on the river's west side.
After calling for help from a fire station on the west side, the crew was able to get to the man and pull him aboard the boat, the Eldon Trinity, within a couple of minutes of first hearing the alert about 10 a.m. today.
Lacking a rescue boat dedicated to the Willamette River, it took PF&R's nearest fireboat 42 minutes to reach the scene.
'Portland Fire's newest rescue boat – the Eldon Trinity – was literally placed into service two hours before this fire occurred,' said Public Information Officer Paul Corah. 'It was on scene fighting this fire within eight minutes of being dispatched. This demonstrates how having a dedicated rescue boat on the Willamette River is already protecting Portland's citizens.'
At this time, Station 21 is currently under construction. The crew for the station continues to provide both land and marine based operations from a temporary facility adjacent to the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge, and also operates a rescue boat, the Eldon Trinity, located at the dock just North of the bridge.
