ELFF will be held on just one day this year in The Dalles - Tuesday, Dec. 5 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Instead of firefighters going from neighborhood to neighborhood, participants are asked to drop off their food items at Fire Station 1 at 1400 W. 8th Street, The Dalles, and enjoy some holiday cheer. 

On Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 23, 2023) Oregon State Police troopers responded to the Love’s Truck Stop in Klamath Falls for the report of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot. A U-Haul truck had been abandoned in the parking lot for approximately two days. When the troopers arrived, they could hear barking from the back of the enclosed truck.

Sasha Bentley is leading the charge as the new Equity and Inclusion director. She is working from the inside out, starting with bringing people together in an equitable and safe work environment.
