Wasco County Commissioners are pleased the Oregon Department of Forestry decided to pull back a Wildfire Risk Map for revision and to do a better job of public outreach before putting it into practice. But they also emphasized at a meeting this week the need for people to protect their properties from wildfire. Commissioner Steve Kramer says it’s important for the public to be involved, and for state officials to listen. Commissioner Scott Hege added it is important for property owners to keep their properties defensible from wildfire.
