Response:
Wildland Interface Prevention Project:
- Present home fire safety courses through brochures, talks, fairs, and individual contacts. Hold a burn day awareness program.
- Provide fire risk assessments to scattered home owners.
- Provide smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and fire escape ladders where needed as an incentive to participate in prevention programs.
Prevention program to apply to all 250 rural homes scattered within the 150 sq. mile Lake Creek Rural Fire District, Most homes are in a forest interface.
Planning is in coordination with Oregon State University Extension Service and the State of Oregon Dept. of Forestry.
1. Prevention of Wildland Urban Interface Fire (40 points)
Describe how the proposal will lead to:
A. Reduction of wildland urban interface fire
B. Reduction of structural losses
C. Homeowner action and personal responsibility to reduce fire loss of private land.
Response:
A. Make home owners aware of fire hazards and how to create a defensible area around their homes.
B. Reduce structure fires through hazard reduction, smoke alarms and use of fire extinguishers to prevent fires from spreading to
adjoining wildlands.
C. The proper time and methods for private brush burning will be an important educational part of this program.
2.
Community Participation (30 points)
Detail the community participation and collaboration for this project. Define clearly why you believe your group
will be successful in delivering the proposal to the target audience. How will the project be sustained or carried
forward beyond project timelines? How will the project be monitored and evaluated?
Response:
This is a tough one. We have a lot of apathy towards fire programs in our rural area. We hope to over come this by holding fire day
fairs, distribution of educational material, encouraging participation by providing fire extinguishers and alarms, and by holding
community meetings.
3.
Partnerships (30 points)
Detail the level of involvement of any local multi-agency, emergency services, non-profit coordination group, and
provide a list of partners for this project with their current and expected level of involvement, including any kind of
contributions or matching funds. What is the project relationship to a community risk assessment or mitigation
plan? Include the name of the plan, date it was prepared, and local contact to get a copy of the plan if requested.
Response:
The Lake Creek Rural Fire Department belongs to the Rogue Valley Fire Chiefs Association and are signers of a Mutual Aid
Agreement involving local fire districts and land management agencies. As yet we have no risk assessment or mitigatin plan.
