Your hook is a bit too long. Please try to shorten it. --Odie5533 (talk) 03:31, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

My count shows the hook text at 196 characters without [[ ]], etc; nevertheless, here’s shorter version:

ALT1: ... that Washington County Fire District 2 in Oregon began as the Hillsboro Rural Fire Protection District and is now headed by the Hillsboro Fire Department's chief?

Believe this should cover issue raised above.--Orygun (talk) 20:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough and has adequate references (though some sources are off-line) with no evidence of plagiarism; hook facts have in-line citations; ALT hook is appropriate length with first part verifiable on-line and second part supported by off-line reference taken in good faith.--Orygun (talk) 20:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
