Keeping Oregon Green

Teaming Up to Tackle Wildfires

OPDR Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience Keeping Oregon Green Wild FiresMike Riley, OSU Head Football Coach and Mark Helfrich, UO Head Football Coach are teaming up to tackle wildfires. Everyone wins when we keep oregon’s forests green! Fall means football, but it is also the time of year when we tend to relax our guard against wildfire. Forest vegetation is still dry and one stray ember or spark is all it takes to destroy thousands of acres, and put life safety, property, and our natural resources at risk. Whether you are hunting, camping or working with equipment, carelessness with fire can affect everyone’s enjoyment of Oregon’s great outdoors for years to come. Don’t give wildfire a chance to get on the scoreboard. Team up with your local fire professionals to tackle wildfire.
