Within reason. Your failure to protect your property jeopardizes mine.

Fire is a real serious threat. Please simply review the videos online of the Santa Rosa, CA and Paradise, CA fires. Or even the Bandon, OR fire that wiped out the entire town. Harden your property to prevent fire, period. It's way overdue. Other states long ago have done this.

We don't want another Wildfire like the one that burned down Talent and Phoenix

But not based on the current assessments. The Dpt. of Forestry used 3 yr-old maps to determine risk assessments, and they are NOT accurate. I zeroed in on my home in NWX, where they said we were in high risk, and the map didn't even show the house next door to me which has been there for 3 years.

Take care of yourself AND your neighbors and area around you. I certainly don't want to be responsible for causing damage and heartache to others.

Well first of all I think this info is incorrect! I got one of the letters from the State of Oregon saying my property is high risk, and it says RECOMMENDED! It did NOT say REQUIRED steps be taken! I do not believe in Government overreach! Sick and tired of Democrat control freaks!

The government needs to start LOGGING the forest so fires don't start in the current overgrown mess

Curious if the illegal campers in the forest off China Hat got their notices as well. Since they're a MUCH GREATER fire risk than the average homeowner, is anyone taking steps to create defensible space around those homes? Of course not. This only applies to legal, taxpaying homeowners, as usual!

The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...

NO

Trump's a big man-baby... needs to get his own house in order before sticking his nose in our business...and what's -her -name is just a mouthpiece...no original thought on anything...

I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.
