On Tuesday m orning at 0249
hours, 1986, Engine 24 and Truck 24
were dispatched to an apartment fire
at 4042 N. Borthwick as first due
companies on a phantom box assign
ment. Upon arrival there was fire show
ing in the living room windows of one
unit in a four plex. The neighbor who
called in the fire did not know whether
anybody was home in the involved
unit.
The two inside men on Truck 24
were Fire Fighters Jeff Lowry and
M ike M orris. They im m ediately
knockedon the locked apartment door
and upon receiving no answer they
opened the door with force. Fire Fighter
Lowry injured his shoulder effecting
the entry but entered the building past
the fire by the front door and through
heavy smoke conditions and located
the lone occupant of the apartment
who was asleep near the involved
room. W ith the assistance of Fire
Fighter Morris, Lowry awakened the
occupant and rescued him while hose
lines were being stretched to put out
the fire.
The fast action by Fire fighters
Lowry and Morris in rescuing this
individual was most probably instru
mental in saving him from serious
injury.
Fire Fighters Lowry and Morris
deserve recognition for their quick
and unhesitating action in performing
their duties and are hereby awarded
the Fire C h ie fs Medal of Merit.
Jeff Low ry has been a resident of
north Portland for the most of his life.
He attended Immaculate Heart and
Jefferson High schools. His daughter
even graduated from Jefferson.
This soft spoken gentleman is the
fireman described above. “Don’tjudge
a book by its cover”, is an old worn out
cliche’ that aptly describes Low ry very
well. He was with the fireman crew
that had been dispatched to Humboldt
Elementary School for ‘Career Day’.
When he and several other fireman
were approached they were very shy,
but Lowry was ‘volunteered’ to re
spond to the interview.

Lowry says w hen he was a young

would do when he grew up. Matter of
fact he dropped out of school in his
senior year and joined the Marines
and spent three years w ith uncle Sam
While he was in the Marines he started
working on his GED, but did not
complete his GED until he came back
home to Oregon via working across
the states in construction work, build

Ironically, Lowry’s father is a
fireman, but it just never crossed

says, “ I never really talked to my
father about being a fireman.
Lowry' says he did odd jobs as a
kid, such as working at Rub A Dub, a
Stocker at a store and working in a
kitchen.
Lowry said after he completed
his GED he attended college for 2 1/2
years non-stop(no breaks in between)
and he ju st becam e burned out
w ith only 2 hours short o f his
degree. W hen asked w ould he
ever finish what he started he replied,
“Yes definitely.” While in college,
Lowry sta rte d in the New Fire
S cience p ro g ram . He took the
exam for three times before he could
get on the list. Lowry became a fire
man for the city of Portland and has
been a fireman for the past fourteen
years His advice to anyone who has
aspirations of becoming a fireman is:
“Work hard, stick to it, do it for your
self and not for anyone else, keep you
nose clean, first help yourself, you’re
#1. To be successful as a fireman not
only includes passing the exams, but
you must also have a good attitude to
be able to get along with your co
workers, so that you work well to
gether.”
