WILDFIRE
Wildfire in Oregon
Fire is a natural part of our environment. Yet, with more people living near wildlands, there is a greater chance of loss of life and property and damage to natural resources. This website provides information homeowners need to prepare for wildfire, respond when fire occurs, and recover after the event of fire.
Protecting you home Against Wildfire Damage
Over 140,000 wildfires occurred on average each year, burning a total of almost 14.5 million acres. And since 1990, over 900 homes have been destroyed each year by wildfires.
