Join us for the SW Bend Firewise Neighborhood Event! Wildfire poses a significant risk to our community in Central Oregon. Come learn with your neighbors about how to protect your home.

Melissa Steele, Bend Deputy Fire Marshall, will provide an overview of the impact that wildfires can have on communities, practical steps you can take to protect your home, and strategies to prepare your family.

• Reduce risk by stengthening home and landscapes with defensible space
