The 2023 fire season  for Central Oregon could be early and long. We are encouraging everyone to prepare their properties while outdoor debris burning is allowed.

Preparation Tips:

• Make sure your property address signs are easily readable.
• Make sure access roads are clear for fire apparatus.
• Identify and mark any water supply locations on your property that firefighters could use in case of fire.
• Defensible space- create 30 to 100 feet of defensible space around structures that will help you and firefighters defend your home in case a fire moves through.
• Clear area underneath large trees
• Clear combustibles at least 10 feet around propane tanks
• Plan Prep Go- familiarize you and your family with the Plan Prep Go plan.  Evacuation-Guide
