Gresham-Barlow School District Facilities Director Terry Taylor on how fire inspections are increasing safety at school and home. 

In 2025, the Gresham Fire Marshal’s Office performed 39 levy-supported school inspections — up from zero in 2024— with more planned in 2026. The return of this critical school safety program is all thanks to Gresham voters who supported the 2024 Fire and Police Levy. Thank you, Gresham!
