The Writing is on the Wall: Unsafe Buildings Alert Program

31 Comments

  

Beginning December 1, 2009, you may notice bright orange signs with the letter “U” posted on some buildings.  The signs are intended to provide Portland firefighters with an extra measure of safety when responding to an emergency at one of these buildings.  Approximately 24 buildings around town will have these signs posted above their entrances to supplement information that firefighters already carry with them on the apparatus en route to a scene.

The designation indicates to firefighters that the building, or a portion thereof, has unsafe conditions.  This allows incident commanders to assess the structure when formulating an action plan and to reconsider standard firefighting tactics when operating on-scene at a structure identified as an unsafe building. 

These signs do not necessarily mean that a building cannot be entered or occupied.  For example, in an 8-story building floors 1 and 2 may be safe and legal for public occupancy while floors 3 through 8 must remain vacant due to structural issues identified by fire inspectors during routine building inspections.  If you have questions or concerns about unsafe buildings, contact the Public Information Team at (503) 823-3700.

Thank you for keeping the Citizens of Portland and the City's Fire Fighters safe.

I look forward to the many lovely historic buildings that this has affected to be restored to a safe condition with either private funding, or private / public partnerships.

And I look forward to these buildings being restored through any finding mechanism including a larger tax burden on those with the ability and resources to pay.

i’m very hapy today to share this amazing testimony as Dr. Ohioze the herbal doctor was able to cure me from my Herpes Virus with his herbal medicine. i am Arthur from Atlanta.Georgia ,I was been a diagnosed of Hsv2 for a period of 2 years and have tried different methods of treatment to ensure that I was cured of this terrible disease, but none worked for me, i so much believed there’s a cure out there somewhere and we’ve been blinded to the facts that medical doctors hides that from us, i was really desperate as I was losing almost everything due to my illness, A few months ago while I was checking the internet I saw different recommendation about Dr. Ohioze on how he have been using his herbal Medicine to treat and cure people, I contacted him and I told him how I got his contact and also about my herpes virus, after some time he told me not to worry that he would prepare for me his herbal medicine, he told me I would take this medicine for a week and also

asked for my home address to send the herbal medicine through courier service FedEx to me, after the process and everything i received the delivery from FedEx, I took it as i was directed by Dr. Ohioze during the one week, while on medication I
began to experience changes in my body, I had to call my doctor at the
hospital for a type-specific blood test, after the test the doctor told me that
I wasn’t having herpes virus,not a trace of the virus in my blood or my nerves , I really couldn’t even believe it . i’m so grateful Dr Ohioze
