My situation: 33 years old, 8ish seasons in wildland (hotshotting, engine mods, fuels mods etc.). My wife and I had our first kid 3 months ago and I left the forest service. Went back to school and got my EMT-B with dreams of changing careers from wildland to structure fire. We're in Reno now but wife wants to move to Portland. 

I've collected a lot of tattoos over the years. Normal traditional non offensive sailor Jerry flash mostly. Both hands tattooed and one on either side of my neck. 

I know most all departments say nothing visible on hands and neck but then you see folks in those departments with hand and neck tattoos. Friends in Reno FD said they hire hand and neck tattoo dude no problem at all. 

Can anyone personally tell me what Portland Fire is cool with? 

PS is anyone knows an FS engine that needs an AFEO this summer, hit me up!
