Description
Although most fires are extinguished when small, a fire that evades initial suppression attempts may spread and trigger a complex operational response. At this point, hundreds of firefighters, engines, and air tankers seemingly appear out of nowhere, using jargon-filled tactics to limit the damage to communities and sensitive resources. In this webinar, you will hear about how fire operations and levels of response are assembled, what you can expect if you are in a potentially affected area, as well as some ideas for how you can make firefighters’ jobs easier and safer if they need to protect your home.

Description
When a fire threatens a community it can be an emotional, scary, and traumatic experience, especially if you had to evacuate. There can be a lot of uncertainty around how long an evacuation may last, when it is safe to return, and what you might find when you do. Join us to hear from experts that will discuss what happens after the fire and address some of these uncertainties; including the factors authorities are using to determine when it is safe to return, what to know and expect upon returning, assessing your home and property for damage, important calls to make, and what resources and assistance are available if you have been affected by fire.

Description
Last summer’s wildfire events impacted many Oregonians. These events reminded us of how important it is to plan and be prepared for wildfire.
Planning and preparing for wildfire can feel like a massive endeavor. What can we do? Who can help? How do we continue to build wildfire adapted and prepared communities?
Every community is unique; however, you are not alone. We can learn from our neighbors whether they are next door, across the state or even in a different state.
For this webinar, we invited our neighbors from southwest Colorado to tell us their story. Join us and learn how one community was affected by wildfires in 2002 and their journey to come together, rebuild, and take the action needed to save their lives and property from wildfire and the impact their actions had on wildfires in their neighborhoods since.
What you will learn:
- How other communities in the west have adapted to living in a wildfire environment
- Tools and resources available to help you prepare for wildfire
- How to engage your neighbors and build capacity to strengthen your wildfire adapted community
This webinar is the first of a series from the OSU Extension Fire Program. This series will focus on wildfire preparedness including how to make your home and property more resilient to wildfire, how to work individually and as a community, and more.

The firestorm that started over Labor Day Weekend has wreaked havoc in communities across Oregon.
The Fire Program along with its partners hosted a series of post-fire webinars related to forestry & natural resources topics. Each webinar can be viewed as a recording along with an archive of resources.
Many of you have lost everything to the wildfires that occurred last year. It has been an extremely stressful and painful time, with challenges that have affected some of us in deeper ways than others. Know that YOU are not alone. Some of our partnering organizations and agencies are offering services and assistance in different ways – some to those of you who have lost homes and belongings, businesses, and sadly, pets. It is not our intention to undermine the severity of these losses – but to acknowledge with respect and as much understanding as possible.
We are in this together.
Each Fire Program webinar includes resources attached to their class information (below). Here you will find webinar descriptions and resources from instructors.

Description
This webinar will cover a visual method for assessing survival of trees that have been injured by wildfire. Specifically we will look at varying levels of damage to tree crowns, bole/trunk injuries, and heat damage at the tree base. This assessment will inform decisions about whether to move forward with timber salvage operation to recoup tree value before it is lost to insects and disease. We will also discuss specifically how salvage operations are conducted, equipment used, wildlife considerations, economics, forest practice rules and regulations for salvage harvesting, and working with a consulting forester to assist you in getting it done.

This webinar will cover the information you will need to handle your taxes after the fires. We will talk about possibilities for deducting losses, how to determine the amount of loss and reconstructing your basis in the trees. Some people may need to report a gain from the salvage of the timber. You may be considering whether you even want to replant after harvest or salvage of the timber. We will talk about how that decision can impact your property tax status here in Oregon. In addition we will talk about federal tax incentives available for those who are replanting.
