More than Just another Fire Truck



Thank you Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network for the glowing write up on our first of 3 learning exchanges in the Pacific Northwest. The focus on partnerships with Deschutes County, all our local fire districts, federal partners and countless community members make Project Wildfire the success it is today.

Looking forward to part 2 & 3 for more learning and sharing
