The Central Oregon Fire Prevention Cooperative (COFPC) will be hosting free Wildfire Preparedness Fairs throughout Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties to provide resources for how people can prepare for wildfire season and smoke events, mitigate wildfire risk around their homes, and learn about planned spring prescribed burning. The public is invited to participate, coming together as a community to learn about crucial strategies and resources to stay safe during wildfire season. With the increasing threat of wildfires, it’s essential that we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect our homes, families, and environment.
Engage with representatives from local fire departments, county health agencies, emergency management and land managers who will provide resources and answer questions on topics including wildfire safety, emergency kits, evacuations and community action plans. Have your burning questions answered by professionals in the field of wildfire management and emergency response. There will be fun and educational items to teach children about fire safety. Connect with fellow community members to take proactive steps to safeguard your community against the threat of wildfires.
