Governor Kitzhaber, along with the governors from Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and California has proclaimed May 5-11 as Wildfire Awareness Week. It’s not just a risk for those that live in the forest, it’s also a huge risk to those living suburban areas located next to wildland and the forest fringe. This is known as the Wildland Urban Interface or WUI. Is your home prepared to survive a wildfire?
