  • Wildfire Awareness Week: What are you doing to prepare?
    wildfires
    May 6-12 is Wildfire Awareness Week in Oregon and this year's Wildfire Awareness Week theme asks: Have you done enough to protect your home from wildfire? Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Jim Walker is asking homeowners to use this opportunity to make sure their home is protected from wildfire. "The roof is the most critical part of the house when it comes to wildfire protection, says Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. "Embers can collect and ignite on the roof, in gutters, and enter unscreened openings around the house. Although non-combustible roofing material is preferred, regardless of the construction, keep roofs, gutters and eaves clear of all leaves, pine needles and other flammable debris."

    arson
    Oregon data shows there were more than 500 reported youth set fires in 2010-2011. The majority of these fires were started by youths from 10-15 years of age. "Most people don't realize the serious consequences of youth-set fire behavior," said Oregon Chief Deputy State Marshal Jim Walker. "Whether it's a young child misusing a cigarette lighter or a teen setting a fire for the fun of it, these behaviors are risky, can be deadly, and result in thousands of dollars in property loss."
