La Pine, Ore. – La Pine firefighters, in uniform and in a fire district vehicle, will be visiting homes and properties within the fire district this summer.
The purpose is to pre plan and collect critical data for firefighters to use when protecting homes from a wildfire. This is a continuation of a multi-year project started last year.
The fire district was awarded a small grant to employ student firefighters for this summer project supporting the National Wildland Fire Decision Support System.
The Fire District is appreciative of each property owner for their effort to maintain their properties in a FireWise and FireFree safe condition. This activity is just one more effort to ensure we all survive the next wildfire in Central Oregon.
