FIRE PROTECTION ACT HITS MAIL

Just over 6,000 Coos County residents, who live in urban interface areas, recently received information in the mail concerning the Oregon Forestland Urban Interface Fire Protection Act. The Act, which is making its way through the state, encourages homeowners to create defensible space around structures.

"Most of those in Coos County that meet the Act's criteria fall under a low fire risk classification," says County Act Coordinator Tom Fields,  "and therefore, they are not required to do anything around these structures. However, following the hearing process, we will still provide them with the educational information that will help residents understand how to minimize the risk of wildfires in these settings." 

A public hearing will take place Wednesday, February 10th at 6:30 p.m. at the Coquille Community Center, where the appointed committee will present and finalize it's findings. Those affected are not required to attend the hearing. If you received this letter and would like more information, call Act coordinator for Coos County, Tom Fields, at (541) 672-6507 extension 136.
