The Central Oregon Fire Prevention Cooperative (COFPC) is hosting their second annual free Wildfire Preparedness Fair Series; sharing wildfire prevention education, expert tips for protecting your home, staying safe when smoke is in the air, planning for evacuation, and more. The public is invited to join in these fun, family friendly events, to learn about crucial strategies and resources to stay safe during wildfire season.

With the increasing threat of wildfires, it’s essential that we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect our homes, families, and environment.

Engage with representatives from local fire departments, county health agencies, emergency management and land managers who will provide resources and answer questions on topics including wildfire safety, emergency kits, evacuations and community action plans. Have your burning questions answered by professionals in the field of wildfire management and emergency response. There will be fun and educational items to teach children about fire safety. Connect with fellow community members to take proactive steps to safeguard your community against the threat of wildfires.
