The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde reached an agreement to secure fire and emergency services at the Spirit Mountain Casino.
The tribe will build a new fire station for the West Valley Fire District, pay for new firefighting positions and buy new equipment. "This is going to help everybody — the tribe, the fire department, the community," Lt. Dave Morey told the Associated Press.
The fire district told the tribe that it wouldn't be able to respond adequately to a fire at the casino without additional staffers and new equipment.
