After a lot of conversations, planning and adjustments due to Covid-19 the FireFree dates are all now finalized. Residents are encouraged to prepare and maintain their defensible space this spring in advance of fire season. This is a great opportunity to dispose of your yard debris free of charge. As a resident of Central Oregon it is your responsibility to maintain the area immediately around your home in a way that minimizes the chance of your home igniting during a wildfire. Check out the details below and make a plan to participate!
