Today our skies are smoke free, but the threat of wildfires is always looming — it’s simply the reality of living in the Pacific Northwest.
As wildfire season starts to ramp up, the Oregon State Fire Marshal is partnering with Portland Fire and Rescue to host a free Wildfire Preparedness Weekend at the World Forestry Center’s Discovery Museum.
On Saturday, April 27-Sunday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., attendees will learn how to reduce the risk of wildfires around their homes and communities by listening to expert speakers, interacting with exhibits, and participating in hands-on demonstrations. There will also be opportunities to get involved with protecting the forests around Oregon.
