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.

It benefits everyone.

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!

Immigrants have been apart of the American development over all of our years as a country and add much to our prosperity, There is nothing new here.

The real story typically comes from the real people involved. If they express their opinions and tell their story on social media, it's unfiltered.

Social media's a hotbed of misinformation! I'd never believe a post until I saw it confirmed on a news outlet.

People like to share things that are "shocking" and feed into their fear and filter bias. I always fact check or see if I can at least find the story on other sources.

First off a "opinion" is just that. It's not fact, it's not news, it's just what some one thinks or feels. The same goes for "media outlets" No one gives a damm about your "opinions"
