Bend Fire & Rescue
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Bend Fire & Rescue and the city of Bend announced Wednesday a new wildfire preparedness campaign to empower the community with tools to create defensible space around their home. Own Your Zone gives residents simple things they can do that will make a big difference to protect their home from the threat of wildfire.
The Own Your Zone campaign is about personal responsibility to keep our community safe. It starts with one home but has the potential to save an entire neighborhood.
“The intent of this wildfire preparedness campaign is to have create actions people can do to create defensible space that can be adapted to communities across the country,” said Bend Fire & Rescue Deputy Chief Trish Connolly. “These actions are important, not just for people who live in Bend, but for all places with the risk of wildfire.”
