1929 players O'Keefe and Wheeler were selected by Chuck Cosgrove of Mount Scott to represent the Firemen in the All-Stars vs St Johns Bachelors game.

Coach Byron Anderson switched allegiance from the St Johns Bachelors to the Firemen squad to enter the 1930 Oregon-Washington League. Anderson recruited a number of his former Bachelor players including hard-charging former University of Oregon star fullback Lynn Jones. Anderson and Jones led the Firemen to a Co-Championship with the Bachelors splitting a tying in three bouts. Jones would be the deciding factor in two games as the closing minutes approached, one, a 60-yard catch and run for a TD, the other a 50-yard INT return to down Vancouver.

Wade Williams, referee of the Nov 2 Albina vs Firemen game had to hold the game up for 5 minutes to clear the field of rival fans who had crowded around and began to scuffle amongst themselves during the game.
