WILDFIRE DEFENSE

You can reduce your risk of wildfire in just a few hours. Create at least 30 feet of defensible space around your home, a fire-resistant zone, to help reduce the spread of wildfire and protect your property. Get started now and bring your needles, leaves, small branches and brush to area landfills and collection sites free of charge! Keep your property free from fire and GET IN THE ZONE!

The Central Oregon FireFree program is a successful educational movement that has changed attitudes and behaviors about wildfires over the last decade. Each year thousands of residents participate in the spring free recycling event, but more importantly, they are protecting themselves and their neighborhoods from devastating wildfires.
