Emergency Preparedness Tip of the Month: Keep Oregon Green!
As always, check with your local fire depart-
ment and your local Oregon Department
of Forestry for folks outside of city limits.
Consider obtaining a campfire waiver
from the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Campfire waivers are free and help you
avoid fines (these are not for burn piles).
Again please check with your local fire
authorities for regulations during fire
season (usually starts in June).
4. Red Flag Warnings – A Red
Flag Warning means warm temperatures,
very low humidity and stronger winds
are expected to combine to produce an
increased risk of fire danger.
• If you are allowed to burn in your area,
all burn barrels must be covered with
a weighted metal cover with holes no
larger than ¾”.
• Do not throw cigarettes or matches
out of a moving vehicle. They may
ignite dry grass on the side of the road
and become a wildfire.
By Eli Grove, Emergency Preparedness
Coordinator Trainee
As fire season rapidly approaches
the Pacific Northwest, we need to start
preparing now. A couple terms I’d like
Tribal members to start thinking about
are the following:
1. Defensible Space – This means
preparing your home and property to pro-
tect it from wildfire. When is the last time
you cleaned your gutters out? Or limbed
trees near your home?
2. Wildland/Urban Interface – Think
about where your home is located, what’s
around? For example, do you live near
forests or possibly an active logging opera-
tion? Do you have trees near your house
with low-hanging limbs? How about an
unmaintained yard or lawn?
3. Burn Bans/Campfire Waivers – Do
you have a brush pile that you have been
waiting to burn? Now is not the best time.
Remember –
fire knows no
season.
•
Extinguish all outdoor fires properly.
Drown fires with plenty of water and
stir to make sure everything is cold
to the touch. Dunk charcoal in water
until cold. Do not throw live charcoal
on the ground and leave it.
•
Never leave a fire unattended. Sparks
or embers can blow into leaves or
grass, ignite a fire and quickly spread.
5. Regulated Use – These signs
(above) will be posted in your local fire
district if in effect. They are typically accom-
panied with a fire season in effect sign.
