Corvallis Fire Department Completes Wildfire Risk Reduction Project in Rural Community

March 20, 2026 - The Corvallis Fire Department has successfully completed a community wildfire risk reduction project serving a manufactured home community within the Corvallis Rural Fire Protection District, funded through an Oregon State Fire Marshal Community Wildfire Risk Reduction (CWRR) grant.

The project focused on reducing wildfire risk by clearing debris from roofs and gutters, trimming vegetation, and improving emergency access. Work was completed the week of March 16, 2026, by a contracted crew, and grant funds of up to $80,000 were fully utilized.

"This project is a great example of what's possible when a fire department, state agency, and community work together toward a common goal," said Emergency Manager Sierra Anderson. "This community took a real step toward protecting their homes and their neighbors, and we were glad to be part of that effort alongside them."

The project was made possible through the State Fire Marshal's CWRR grant program, which supports local efforts to reduce wildfire risk across Oregon communities.
