The Oregon Department of Forestry and The Oregon State Fire Marshal are bringing in out-of-state firefighters and equipment to fight several wildfires impacting communities and resources across the state. ODF has received more than 58 resources from New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, and Florida to assist in the Salt Creek and Larch Creek Fire.

Heading out for training on cutting fire lines on the fringes of Camp Pendleton with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)! Dozers are a critical tool in the forest firefighting arsenal. Not only do they help crews access fires, but they can help contain them by cutting fire lines like this one. Fires need fuel—which usually comes from decaying trees, brush, or grass. By using dozers to remove the fuel strategically, CALFIRE crews can stop fires from spreading. Every year, before fire season, all dozer crews train in real-world scenarios before they’re quite literally in the line of fire. #betterdirtworld

Downright concerning. To reduce the risk of wildfire, maintain a clean and well-maintained property, install smoke alarms, develop a fire escape plan, use fire-resistant materials, practice fire safety, and stay informed about local fire conditions.
California is experiencing an active fire year and it’s only June. The number of #wildfires is up 9%. The number of acres burned have skyrocketed by 1,462%.

Not good. And more heat coming... As I sit here listening to sirens drive by, I find myself thinking - how many of these acres are going to burn at high severity? How many will need to be reforested? How much seed will we need to do that? Do we have enough? But more then anything - I think about the people aspect of this - how these fires not only impact life and property, but infrastructure and public safety as a whole. Be safe out there - and much gratutude to our firefighters. Reforestation is only one part of the over arching goal, to build RESILIENT FORESTS. We must also think about proper management prior to wildfire activity and how human decision making impacts on the ground conditions. #ItsAllConnected #ForestEcosystemsAndSociety #ReforestaionPipeline

Beginning today, drafts of new statewide wildfire hazard and wildland-urban interface (WUI) maps are available for public input. 🗓️ View the maps via the Oregon Explorer: https://beav.es/pAg 📧 All public comments should be directed to the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) by Aug 18, 2024, via email: [email protected] The wildfire hazard map was mandated by Senate Bill 762’s $220M bipartisan legislative package in 2021 to improve wildfire preparedness. Developed by OSU researchers, these maps are based on current science and the best available data. This multi-year effort involved partner agencies (ODF, Oregon State Fire Marshal, Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services), fire modeling experts, local subject matter experts, advisory committees, and stakeholders.

What have we learned from post-fire restoration projects? … Small private landowners often lack the funding, expertise, or time to undertake restoration work. To address these barriers, California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan called for the establishment of Emergency Forest Restoration Teams (EFRTs). In June, a report was released on lessons learned from three pilot EFRTs that provides key recommendations for future EFRTs to be successful. … Learn more and read the report. >> https://lnkd.in/gj8-TZ83 … USDA Forest Service California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) UCANR … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #ResilientForests
