The Oregon State Police needed help today- and turned to the Rainier Station for help. The trooper had discovered a group of people loading up a junked and abandoned car on private forest land outside of Rainier. The person's could not confirm ownership of the car, so the trooper attempted to find the vehicle's identification number.

Unable to find it in all the usual places, he had the group tow the car to Rainier, and requested fire district support in removing parts of the car to find the hidden VIN's.

E491 crews spent over an hour searching for the number.

Another great example of inter-agency cooperation.
