Other Units Not Listed
Throughout both counties, there are several units that have not been included in this list. For example, in Washington County, a fire investigator can have a three or four digit unit ID (TVF&R: 2514, Hillsboro: 115, Forest Grove: 4510), but they are not included here. While every attempt is made to identify common unit IDs, this is not a complete database or reference. The best way to know what unit is responding is by keeping an ear on your scanner.
