An ambitious project is underway to take revisit the triangular property that currently serves as home for the David Campbell Memorial and Portland Firefighter Memorial Plaza.  

The project intends to fully renovate the David Campbell Memorial (built in 1928) and add the Portland Fallen Firefighter Memorial Plaza, which will include a variety of interpretive features that allow the visitor to understand the heritage site and the role Portland Fire has played in the history of the city of Portland.  

The David Campbell Memorial (DCM) was built as a tribute to Fire Chief David Campbell.  While it has been used as a place to include names of other Portland Firefighters who had died in service to the city of Portland, it was never done in a comprehensive way.  A memorial to ALL of Portland's Fallen Firefighters is necessary.

By utilizing the entire triangle of property, which rests between SW Alder Street, SW 18th Avenue, and SW 19th Avenue (1864 SW Alder Street), the renovated site would become an open and public plaza paying proper tribute to Portland's Fallen Firefighters.  As one of the Hallowed Grounds of Portland Fire, this site is an important and necessary piece of local history.
