Portland Fire & Rescue

Firefighter Grooming Standards

Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) expects uniformed members to be well-groomed and professional in appearance when on duty.  The grooming guidelines were developed as well to ensure safety and uniformity, promote pride in PF&R, and foster public respect for firefighters.

Visit http://www.portlandonline.com/fire/index.cfm?c=52045 for a partial, summarized list of PF&R’s grooming standards. Meeting these grooming standards is a condition of employment.  Grooming standards apply to all sworn members of PF&R.
