MEDFORD, Ore. One of the Rogue Valley’s most fire-prone areas is the Bear Creek Greenway. Medford Police have removed 9 campsites since it began enforcing the city’s Prohibited Camping Ordinance last Thursday.
Fire season has officially begun in Jackson and Josephine Counties, only intensifying what is always a threat on the Bear Creek Greenway.
“Those fires escape beyond their container or their original intended use faster, and so that’s why this is such a significant issue that we are trying to address,” said Medford Fire Chief, Eric Thompson.
Thompson says the department isn’t doing anything differently now that it’s fire season. They are continuing to monitor the greenway daily.
